Polyamide, Nylon

Nylons, long-chain synthetic polymeric amides, are fabricated in many different types. The most commonly used forms are described in Table 3.46. [Pg.116]

High stiffness, fair resistance to corrosion and good frictional properties sometimes make nylons more attractive than metals. The stiffness of the polymer may be increased by glass filling. Nylons containing molybdenum [Pg.116]

Both solvent cementing and adhesive bonding are used with nylon (nylon 6,6 is the type most [Pg.112]

Detergents have also been used instead of organic solvents in cleaning nylon. Nylon, like PC, readily absorbs moisture from the air. For this reason, keeping the humidity low before bonding is desirable. [Pg.113]

Hand-sand with 120-grit abrasive cloth until the gloss is removed [Pg.113]

Remove sanding dust with a short hair stiff brush [Pg.113]

Bonding or priming should be carried out as soon as possible. Parts should be warmed slightly before bonding. Primers recommended include nitrile-phenolic, resorcinol-formaldehyde, vinyl phenolic, silane, and so on. Epoxies have been used on metallic surfaces, with the nylon being bonded to the epoxy.
