Nylon, also known as Polyamide (PA), is an engineering resin known for its low coefficient of friction, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, strength, stiffness and toughness. Nylon comes in different types, including the most popularly used Nylon 6/6, to Nylon 6, Nylon 11, Nylon 12, and many other variations and many different types of filler. The chemical makeup that contributes to its properties allows it to be used in a wide variety of industries, including Automotive, Office Equipment and Home Appliance markets.
