Usa Industrials BULK-PS-NYL-172 Nylon 6/6 Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-NYL-172 is a rectangular Nylon 6/6 plastic bar stock used in machining, fabrication, and general industrial applications. It measures 0.375 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 48 inches long, with a natural (off-white) color finish. Nylon 6/6 offers good mechanical strength, wear resistance, and low friction, making it a reliable choice for producing bushings, wear pads, guide rails, spacers, and other precision-machined components. This bar stock is commonly cut, drilled, milled, or turned on standard machine shop equipment.

This bar is suited for light to medium industrial use in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. It is appropriate for applications requiring a non-metallic, self-lubricating material where metal would be too heavy or cause galvanic issues. Fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians working in facilities such as food processing plants, packaging lines, and general manufacturing operations frequently stock Nylon 6/6 bar for on-demand part fabrication.

Key Features

• Nylon 6/6 material provides solid wear resistance and dimensional stability
• Natural color indicates unfilled, unmodified resin for broad machinability
• Rectangular cross-section simplifies fixturing and secondary machining operations
• Full 48-inch length allows multiple parts to be cut from a single bar
• Low friction surface reduces the need for external lubrication in wear applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Nylon 6/6 bar stock suitable for a wide range of machined part applications in industrial and maintenance settings.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and milling of nylon bar stock should be performed using standard machining practices with appropriate speeds and feeds for thermoplastic materials. Eye protection and dust control are recommended when machining nylon. Store bar stock flat and away from prolonged heat or direct sunlight to prevent warping or moisture absorption that can affect dimensional accuracy.
