Moisture‑ and Wear‑Resistant Nylon 6/12 Rods — McMaster-Carr
Marketing Text
McMaster-Carr’s Moisture‑ and Wear‑Resistant Nylon Rods deliver reliable strength, dimensional stability, and low-friction performance for demanding applications. Made from nylon 6/12, they resist moisture absorption to maintain tight tolerances and provide self-lubricating wear resistance. Perfect for custom machining into bearings, bushings, valves, fittings, and wear strips—these rods balance durability and precision in your industrial components.
✔ Excellent dimensional stability under humid conditions
✔ Slippery, wear-resistant surface for smooth operation
✔ Strong tensile properties (≈10,000 psi) for mechanical durability
✔ Easy to machine for custom parts fabrication
✔ Ideal for bearings, gears, valve parts, and industrial wear components
