Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal cutting tools without proper cooling, leading to melting or gumming of the nylon.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped tools and utilize coolant or air blast for effective heat management during machining.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress cracking or deformation in the nylon.Use appropriate torque settings and consider washers to distribute load, especially when fastening to other materials.

Common Applications

  • Custom Machined Components
  • Wear Strips and Bushings
  • Tooling and Fixturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Nylon can absorb moisture, which may affect its dimensional stability and mechanical properties over time. Consider environmental conditions.
  • While nylon offers good chemical resistance, prolonged exposure to certain strong acids or bases may cause degradation. Consult chemical compatibility charts.
