Polyamide (PA), commonly called nylon, is an engineering plastic used for wear parts and machined components. Swees Engineering lists nylon sheets and rods in several PA grades. The right grade depends on load, moisture exposure, operating temperature and the required dimensions.

Nylon sheet and rod catalogue

The stock-shapes chart below lists natural, black and blue nylon sheet in 1–100 mm thicknesses, with standard sizes of 1000 × 2000 mm and 500 × 3000 mm. It lists nylon rod in 6–500 mm diameters and 1000, 2000 or 3000 mm lengths. The chart names PA 6, cast PA 6G, PA 6.6, PA 6.6-30% GF, PA 12TR and PA-ELS. Please confirm the current grade, colour and size before ordering.

Choosing a PA grade

Cast, extruded and glass-filled nylons can behave differently. Moisture uptake can affect dimensions and mechanical properties, so tell us the service environment and tolerances. Share your drawing, quantity and intended application for a grade and stock-shape check.

PolyAmide (PA) FAQs

What is PolyAmide (PA), and what are its key advantages?

PolyAmide (PA), commonly known as Nylon, is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic renowned for its high strength, stiffness, and toughness. It offers excellent thermal stability, abrasion resistance, and electrical insulation, making it ideal for various industrial applications.

What are the typical applications of Nylon (PA)?

Nylon is used in industries such as automotive, machinery, and electronics for components like gears, bearings, bushings, washers, and electrical insulators. Its durability and sliding properties make it suitable for parts subject to wear and friction.

How does Nylon perform in terms of temperature resistance?

Nylon exhibits high thermal stability, with a temperature resistance range of -40°C to approximately +100°C. This makes it suitable for applications requiring consistent performance in both low and high-temperature environments.

What chemical resistance does PolyAmide (PA) offer?

Nylon is chemically stable against organic solvents and fuels like oil, grease, and petrol, ensuring its reliability in applications exposed to such substances.
