Why Timaru workshops specify nylon
Nylon Sheet & Rod is one of the most requested ranges we freight into Canterbury, largely because of the port logistics, food processing and agricultural machinery work based here. If you are unsure whether it is the right material for your application, talk to us before you buy — our team will compare it against the alternatives we stock and tell you honestly which one suits the duty.
- High tensile strength and stiffness for a thermoplastic
- Good fatigue resistance in gears and cams
- Self-lubricating running against steel
- Machines to fine tolerances and surface finishes

Nylon questions we are asked in Timaru
- Does nylon absorb moisture?
- Yes — nylon takes up moisture from the air and grows slightly as it does, typically a few tenths of a percent. Machine parts allowing for that growth, or specify acetal where dimensional stability is critical.
- Nylon or acetal for a bearing?
- Nylon carries higher loads and absorbs shock better, so it suits heavily loaded bushes and wear pads. Acetal is dimensionally stable and lower friction, which makes it the better choice for precision moving parts.
- What is the maximum operating temperature for nylon?
- Cast nylon runs continuously to around 100°C, with short-term excursions higher. Above that, PTFE or a filled grade is the safer specification.
