Solid industrial grade material
Bought this for making custom washers. The material is hard and dense. Only giving 4 stars because shipping took a bit longer than anticipated, but the product itself is top-notch.

Great for lathe work
As a hobbyist machinist, I found this MC nylon very easy to turn on my lathe. It produces nice shavings and doesn't melt or gum up the tooling if you keep the speed moderate. Excellent value.

Perfect for custom bushings
Ordered this nylon rod to machine some replacement bushings for my conveyor system. The material cuts cleanly and the oil-impregnated feature really helps reduce friction without needing extra grease. Highly recommended for industrial DIY projects.

Durable and long-lasting
We use these sleeves in high-friction areas of our packaging machines. They have lasted three times longer than the standard plastic parts we used before. The wear resistance is no joke.

Good quality, slight color variation
The mechanical properties are excellent and it fits our specs perfectly. The beige color was slightly lighter than expected compared to the photo, but it doesn't affect performance. Will buy again for our workshop.

Exactly as described
Needed a specific diameter for a repair job and this hollow cylinder fit the bill perfectly. The self-lubricating property is a huge plus for applications where adding oil is difficult.
Q: Is this material food safe?
A: While standard PA6 Nylon is often used in food processing, this specific oil-impregnated grade is designed for industrial mechanical applications. We do not certify this specific batch for direct food contact without further testing.
Q: What is the maximum continuous operating temperature?
A: The maximum continuous operating temperature for this material is approximately 120°C (248°F). Short-term exposure to slightly higher temperatures is possible, but prolonged heat above this limit may affect mechanical strength.
Q: Do you offer custom cutting services to specific lengths?
A: Yes, we can cut the tubes to your required length before shipping. Please select the 'Custom Cut' option at checkout or contact our support team with your specifications after placing your order.
Q: How does the wear resistance compare to UHMWPE?
A: MC Nylon generally offers better abrasion resistance and higher load-bearing capacity than UHMWPE, while UHMWPE has a lower coefficient of friction. For heavy-load sliding applications, this Nylon sleeve is often the preferred choice.
Q: Can this nylon tube be drilled and tapped easily?
A: Yes, Cast Nylon (MC Nylon) machines very well. It can be drilled, tapped, milled, and turned using standard metalworking tools. We recommend using sharp tools and moderate speeds for the best finish.
