FAQ
Engineering plastics materials and processed products
Is it possible to manufacture products in non-standard sizes?
We also accept orders outside of product standards. Please contact us for details.
Is it possible to purchase processed products instead of raw materials?
We also accept orders for processed products, from a single part. We can process materials that are not in our lineup, so please contact us.
Are there any resin materials that do not absorb water?
Teflon and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fall into this category. Water absorption is less than 0.01%.
Polyacetal resin also does not absorb water to zero, but dimensional changes do not occur within normal tolerances.
Are there any precautions in handling Cast-Nylon?
As it is a water-absorbent material, you should be careful when using it in high-humidity or wet conditions. There may be slight dimensional changes or a decrease in physical properties due to water absorption.
In addition, Cast-Nylon has high chemical resistance, but is weak against acids. For details, please check the catalog.
What is the maximum size of Cast-Nylon?
Round bars up to φ600 and plates up to 150t can be handled.
Does Cast-Nylon (CN) mean MC nylon?
Our cast nylon is a "monomer cast nylon" material.
"MC Nylon" is a widely known trade name under the trademark of Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Corporation.
"MC nylon" is often used to refer to monomer-cast nylons in general.
Is Cast-Nylon classified as either 6 nylon or 66 nylon?
It is classified as 6 nylon. Cast nylon is cast molded by pouring the raw material into a mold and polymerizing it. It has higher mechanical strength and lower water absorbency than extruded 6 nylon.
Which material is resistant to friction and wear?
Simply saying something is “resistant to friction and wear”, the specific characteristics required often differ. For example, if you want to suppress the generation of wear powder, materials with high wear resistance, such as polyethylene, are suitable.
On the other hand, if you want to use it at high surface pressure and high speed, a material with a high allowable PV value, such as a sliding grade, is suitable.
Please contact us to find out which applications you want to use it for, or what kind of problems you have.
What is the difference between the white, blue and green ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene?
All of them are standard grade and have the same physical properties. We have a variety of colors available for you to use for a variety of purposes.
