NYCAST^® 12

NYCAST^® 12 offers very low moisture absorption, dimensional stability, superior wear resistance, and exceptional lubrication ability. NYCAST^® 12 allows more precise machining and offers high impact strength. It also offers better wear and creep resistance than standard nylon and also 20^oF lower temperature capability than cast nylon 6.
