Usa Industrials BULK-PS-NYL-68 Nylon 6/6 Plastic Sheet

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-PS-NYL-68 is a natural-color Nylon 6/6 plastic sheet cut to a nominal 1-foot length. It measures 0.5 inches thick and 12 inches wide, offering a solid, machinable stock material suited for fabricating wear parts, guides, bushings, spacers, and structural components. Nylon 6/6 is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic known for its high tensile strength, good dimensional stability, and resistance to abrasion and many common chemicals. At 3.14 pounds, this sheet provides meaningful material mass for cutting, milling, or drilling to final dimensions in a shop or field setting.

This sheet is intended for trade and industrial use where a durable, low-friction polymer stock is required. Typical applications include fabricating bearing pads, slide components, brackets, and custom wear surfaces in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial environments. It is particularly useful when a non-metallic material is needed to reduce noise, prevent galvanic corrosion, or provide electrical isolation in an assembly.

Key Features

• Nylon 6/6 construction provides high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion and fatigue
• Natural color stock - easy to mark, scribe, and inspect during machining
• 0.5-inch thickness offers substantial cross-section for structural or load-bearing fabrications
• 12-inch width and 1-foot length provide a workable blank for a wide range of cut-to-size applications
• Low coefficient of friction makes it well suited for sliding or rotating contact surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose engineering thermoplastic sheet for industrial and trade fabrication applications where Nylon 6/6 material stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping should be performed with standard metalworking or woodworking tools; sharp tooling reduces heat buildup and improves surface finish on nylon stock. Secure the sheet firmly before machining to prevent flexing or movement. Nylon 6/6 can absorb ambient moisture over time, which may affect dimensional tolerances in precision applications - store flat and dry until use. No electrical lockout is required for material fabrication, but follow standard shop safety practices including eye protection and dust control.
