MC cast nylon: the secret weapon of wear-resistant materials
MC cast nylon, also known as monomer cast nylon, or MC nylon for short, is a special form of nylon 6. This material is made by mixing molten caprolactam monomer C6H11NO with additives such as alkalis and activators at atmospheric pressure to make monomers to be polymerized. These monomers are then injected directly into a mold preheated to a certain temperature, where they undergo a rapid polymerization reaction and are eventually molded in the mold.
MC cast nylon has the following significant features:
Physical and Mechanical Properties: Its strength, rigidity, toughness and abrasion resistance are superior to those of ordinary nylon, and it also has good chemical stability.
Low water absorption: This material has low water absorption and good dimensional stability, enabling it to maintain stable performance in a variety of environments.
Self-extinguishing: MC cast nylon is self-extinguishing and continuously heat-resistant up to 100°C, making it safe to use in high-temperature environments.
Due to its excellent physical properties and chemical stability, MC cast nylon is often used in the manufacture of wear-resistant materials such as friction plates, which provide long-lasting and durable solutions for a variety of mechanical components.
