Nylon 6 (Polyamide 6) Granules
Nylon 6 (Polyamide 6) is one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics, known for its excellent balance of strength, toughness, flexibility, and wear resistance. Manufactured from caprolactam, Nylon 6 is a semi-crystalline polymer that offers good mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and ease of processing. Due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness, Nylon 6 is commonly used as a replacement for metals and other plastics in structural, bearing, and wear-resistant applications across multiple industries.

Industry Applications
Nylon 6 is widely used in automotive components such as engine covers, cable ties, clips, fasteners, air intake parts, and structural brackets. Its toughness and flexibility make it suitable for vibration-prone and mechanically stressed applications.
Nylon 6 is extensively used in fibers for carpets, ropes, industrial fabrics, fishing nets, and apparel due to its high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and durability.
Used in gears, bearings, bushings, rollers, wear pads, and conveyor components, Nylon 6 provides excellent wear resistance and machinability for industrial applications.
Nylon 6 is used in electrical housings, connectors, terminal blocks, and insulating components due to its good electrical properties and heat resistance.
High-strength Nylon 6 grades are used in defense equipment components, protective housings, and heavy-duty parts requiring durability under harsh operating conditions.
