One of the best known grade of wear resistant mechanical plastics is Black Extruded Nylon type 6 materials. These engineering materials has been one of the chief mechanical plastics for almost 50 years.

Natural Natural Extruded Nylon type 6/6 material

Nylon material is one of the most used Performance Plastic materials. Known for abrasion resistance is the preferred material for important products like machining critical wear parts for machines.  If Nylon is a material you would like to know more about simply click here, %LINK%
Long running and smooth performance are typical for Cast and Extruded Nylon. Nylon is available in a massive selection of sizes and shapes, including thin sheet to massive blocks. The Black Cast Natural Nylon type 66 materials are readily available.

Considering using Delrin Homopolymer or Copolymer Acetal

Nylon rod

Know for being very good variety slip tolerant performance plastics is Dupont Black Cast Nylon type 66 . This grade of plastic has been one of the chief mechanical plastics for almost 50 years.

Black Cast Nylon type 66 material

Nylon from Dupont is one of the most used Performance Plastic materials. Nylon is a common material for demanding applications like machined parts that need to be self-lubricating.  If you are looking for a wear resistant material simply click here, %LINK%
Extreme applications are typical for Nylon. Nylon has one of the widest ranges of sizes and shapes, including small diameter rod to massive diameters. The Black Natural Cast Nylon type 6 material are produced in a massive size range.

Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do appear similar, but for practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application.
