Nylacast Impact

Chemical Family: Polyamides

Nylacast Impact is specifically designed for applications that require high impact resistance and noise reduction capabilities. It works effectively in applications where there is high stress. It also has good mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties. The impact grade is ideally suited to applications such as support rollers for the aggregate processing industry, dollies used in conjunction with pile drivers and crane feet pads as well as roller coaster wheels in relation to noise reduction.
