Nylon 6 Metal Detectable Sheet
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
PAR Group Nylon 6 Metal Detectable Sheet is a popular engineering plastic due to its ease of machinability. It combines high strength, stiffness and hardness properties with good creep and wear resistance. Our highly visible blue metal detectable Nylon 6 contains very fine material additives making it detectable to most metal detector equipment. It also has lower moisture absorption than standard nylon 6.
