NYCAST® 6PA-BLUE
NYCAST® 6 PA-Blue along
with NYCAST® 6 PA-Natural are two of the
most widely used cast nylons in industry. Nylons have replaced bronze,
brass, steel, and aluminum in various mechanical applications.
- Approximately 1/8 the weight of bronze
- 1/7 the weight of cast iron
- 1/2 the weight of aluminum
