Nylon PVC Fasteners for Bolts, Screws, Nuts, and Washers

Nylon is the first synthetic material created and introduced to the industry in 1930 as a type of cloth. Nylon material in many occasions is also used in automotive, electronic, and household appliances industry. Nylon has a number of advantages, including its great ability to prevent corrosion compared to aluminium and other metals. Nylon is also lighter and has a better durability.

Many factories use nylon material as it is not flammable. This material will melt when burned, making it suitable for environments that are vulnerable to fire. Another example, nylon material is suitable for outdoor applications because it is resistant to fading due to continuous exposure to sunlight and is also anti-corrosive to some chemicals. Nylon also has the advantage of not conducting electricity.

Products made of nylon can be combined with other plastic materials. For example, acetal can be added to optimize durability and to prevent water absorption. Polyvinyl chloride or PVC can also be added to prevent the spread of fire when burning. These types of nylon bolts, screws, nuts, and rings are commonly used in the electronics, telecommunications, computer, and automotive industries.

However, nylon has several disadvantages. It is not advised in an excessively humid environment due to its nature that absorb water causing fasteners losing its strength and deformation risk. Chemical substances that need to be avoided by products made of nylon are acidic chemicals and halogen.

Nylon has a maximum operating temperature of around 100-223 degrees Celsius (depending on the composition of nylon or other plastics). Overall, nylon has a tensile strength of up to 10,000 PSI.

Multi Baja offers various types of bolts, screws, nuts, and washers made of nylon, U-PVC (harder compared to PVC, not inflammable, and safe for drinking).
