Usa Industrials BULK-PS-NYL-217 Nylon 6/6 Plastic Bar

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-NYL-217 is a rectangular Nylon 6/6 plastic bar stock intended for machining, fabrication, and general industrial use. Measuring 0.375 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 48 inches long, this bar ships in its natural, uncolored state. Nylon 6/6 is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to wear and abrasion. It machines cleanly on standard mill and lathe equipment, making it a common choice for producing custom bushings, wear pads, spacers, guides, and structural components in both shop and field environments. Weighing 2.38 pounds per unit, it is easy to handle and cut to length.

This bar stock is suited for light structural and mechanical fabrication applications across a broad range of industries, including HVAC equipment manufacturing, plumbing fixture fabrication, electrical panel support components, and general industrial maintenance. Its natural color indicates no added colorants or fillers, which is preferred when cleanliness, FDA-adjacent use, or secondary painting and coating is required. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians routinely work with this profile to produce replacement wear parts or custom components where metal is unsuitable due to weight, corrosion, or electrical conductivity concerns.

Key Features

• Nylon 6/6 material provides strong mechanical properties, good fatigue resistance, and low friction coefficient for wear applications
• Rectangular bar profile at 0.375 inches thick by 2 inches wide - ready for sawing, milling, drilling, or turning
• 48-inch length provides flexibility to cut multiple smaller parts from a single piece
• Natural color with no dyes or fillers, suitable for applications requiring material purity
• Lightweight at 2.38 pounds, reducing handling difficulty in overhead or confined-space fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Nylon 6/6 bar stock suitable for machined replacement parts, custom fabricated components, and structural applications where an engineering-grade thermoplastic bar profile is required.

Installation Notes

This material is cut and machined using standard woodworking or metalworking equipment including band saws, table saws, milling machines, and drill presses. Use sharp tooling and moderate feed rates to prevent heat buildup, which can cause material distortion. Secure the bar firmly before cutting to prevent movement. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and dust control measures should be used when machining thermoplastic materials.
