Cast Nylon MD is more cost efficient than extruded Nylon MD when it comes to production of large parts.
Nylon® MD (Cast 6) is a nylon and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) composition designed to improve the mechanical, thermal and bearing properties to Type 6 Nylon while maintaining its basic electrical and chemical characteristics. The casting process allows for massive sheets up to 60" x 120", Rods up to 24" dia, Tubes up to 55" diameter, and even Near-net Shapes for the production of large, "hollowed-out" parts that would otherwise require heavy machining and waste. This makes it especially suited to applications where external lubrication is impractical, contaminating or difficult to maintain. Nylon MD provides non-galling and non-scratching characteristics, sound dampening qualities, insulating properties, resistance to oils, greases, most alkalies, solvents, and organic acids Nylon MD Sheet - Cast,0.
