HomeNylon CNC Machining
The color of nylon is usually white or cream, as the world's most versatile synthetic fiber material, nylon can be applied to machinery, electronics, automotive and other fields through surface treatment, and it is a significant engineering plastic.
Our top-notch mechanical engineers will use the most advanced CNC machining technology to precisely fabricate various nylon parts. When you customize any custom project, we have over 10 nylon materials to choose from to meet your needs for usage and performance.
About Nylon Properties
Only by first understanding the properties and attributes of nylon can we make better decisions during the CNC machining process; this also helps you to have a better grasp of which material will perfectly match your project, resulting in better and more consistent quality parts. We list the two most widely used materials: nylon 6 and nylon 66.

About Nylon 6 & Nylon 66 & Nylon-MXD6
| Type | Properties & Uses |
| Nylon 6 (PA6) | It is a translucent or opaque opalescent resin with superior mechanical properties, stiffness, toughness, wear resistance and mechanical shock absorption, good insulation and chemical resistance. Widely used in many fields such as automotive parts, electronic and electrical zero. |
| Nylon 66 (PA66) | Compared with nylon 6, its mechanical strength, stiffness, heat and wear resistance, better creep resistance, but impact strength and mechanical shock absorption properties decreased. It has a wide range of applications in automobiles, drones, electronics and electrical. |
| Nylon-MXD6 | Although the barrier property of nylon MXD6 is a little worse than pvdc and evoh, its barrier property is not affected by temperature and humidity, which is especially suitable for high temperature and humid occasions. Dimensional stability, low water absorption and small dimensional change after water absorption, less change in mechanical strength; shrinkage after mechanical processing is very small, suitable for precision molding process. |
Advantages of Nylon MXD6
Compared with nylon 6 and nylon 66, nylon MXD6 has the following good characteristics.
Greater strength and modulus of elasticity
High glass transition temperature
Low water absorption and moisture permeability
Good crystallization rate and ease of molding and fabrication
Good gas barrier properties
