Nylon® represents a family of synthetic polymers and is a thermoplastic material. It is made of repeating units linked by peptide bonds (another name for amide bonds) and is frequently referred to as polyamide (PA). Nylon® was the first commercially successful polymer and the first synthetic fiber to be made entirely from the ingredients coal, water, and air. These are formed into monomers of intermediate molecular weight, which are then reacted to form long polymer chains. CNC Nylon® has multiple uses and applications. Nylon® fibers are now used in fabrics and ropes, and solid Nylon® is used for mechanical parts and as an engineering material. Engineering grade Nylon® material is processed by extrusion, casting & injection molding. Type 6/6 Nylon® 101 is the most common commercial grade of Nylon®, and Nylon® 6 is the most common commercial grade of cast Nylon®.
