It exhibits high crystallinity, an important attribute that improves a plastic\u2019s mechanical strength and thermal performance. Nylon\u2019s material properties support its use as a replacement for metal and make it a good choice for pump parts, fan blades, cable ties, screws, and gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/materials\/cnc-machining-nylon\">Nylon<\/a> comes in many different forms, but Nylon 6, Nylon 66, and PA 12 are the most common types. Adding fillers such as glass fibers can enhance nylon\u2019s mechanical and thermal properties, but at the expense of flexibility. During material selection, it\u2019s also important to consider that nylon tends to absorb moisture and must be dried before injection molding occurs. During end-use applications, nylon can swell in high-humidity environments.&nbsp;<br>Despite these considerations, nylon has many advantages. This article explains those advantages, provides design guidelines for nylon injection molding, and examines nylon\u2019s material properties and processing parameters.

These advantages include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Low melt viscosity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chemical and abrasive resistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-temperature resistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatigue resistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tensile and mechanical strength<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low Melt Viscosity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon\u2019s low melt viscosity improves its moldability for parts with thin side walls or other thin features. During the injection phase, the melted nylon flows easily through tight spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chemical and Abrasive Resistance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon resists dilute acids, inorganic chemicals such as ammonia and alkaline solutions, and organic solvents like halogenated hydrocarbons. Nylon is also highly resistant to fuel and oils, and has excellent abrasion resistance due in part to its low coefficient of friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High-Temperature Resistance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon has a higher maximum operating temperature than other engineering plastics. Although nylon injection molding requires higher energy inputs, parts can be used in applications with long-term exposure to temperatures up to 150\u00b0C. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/glass-filled-nylon-advantages-and-disadvantages\">Glass-reinforced nylon<\/a> has a higher melt temperature and even greater high-temperature resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fatigue Resistance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon\u2019s excellent fatigue resistance makes it ideal for components, such as gears, that undergo cyclic loading. Designing injection molded nylon parts with the proper corner radii further strengthens fatigue resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tensile and Mechanical Strength<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon has a tensile strength comparable to some metals; however, nylon is not as rigid. Nylon\u2019s mechanical strength can be further increased by adding fillers such as glass fibers, or increasing the mold temperature to improve the crystalline structure of the material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"486\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/injection-molding-machines-large-factory.jpeg\" alt=\"plastic injection molding with nylon\" class=\"wp-image-11405 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 2: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/injection-molding-machines-large-factory-department-495869302\">Injection Molding Machine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nylon Injection Molding Design Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the injection molded parts you need, it\u2019s important to follow general molding guidelines which you\u2019ll find in our design guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/ebooks\/get-smart-on-injection-molding\">Download Fictiv\u2019s Injection Molding Design Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also four nylon-specific elements to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wall thickness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Radii<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Draft angle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Part tolerances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wall Thickness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When designing parts for nylon injection molding, use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/wall-thickness-in-injection-molding\">wall thickness<\/a> between 0.030 and 0.115 in (0.76 &#8211; 2.92 mm). Note that this is slightly less than the recommended wall thickness for most other injection molding materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, leep wall thicknesses uniform. If that\u2019s not possible, apply a gradual change of no more than 10% to 15% in thickness between adjacent walls. A wall thickness of greater than 6 mm is not recommended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without compromising moldability, nylon parts can be lightweight with relatively thin walls. The relative thinness of nylon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/wall-thickness-recommendations-for-injection-molding\">minimal wall thickness<\/a> is due in part to its low melt viscosity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Radii<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon is sensitive to stress concentrations caused by sharp corners. Therefore, it\u2019s critical to design parts with corner radii larger than 0.5 mm. Optimal part performance is achieved when radii are equivalent to 75% of the nominal wall thickness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Draft Angle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon parts can be molded without draft angles because nylon\u2019s low coefficient of friction promotes part ejection. This characteristic also supports the use of injection molded nylon for gears and other components that require flat surfaces. Applying a draft angle to nylon parts can shorten cycle times, however, and typically, draft angles beween 0.5\u00b0 and 1\u00b0 per side are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Part Tolerances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because nylon has a higher shrinkage rate than most thermoplastics, it can be challenging to maintain dimensional tolerances with nylon parts. When shrinkage rates are controlled, however, injection molded nylon has consistent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/product-study-part-tolerances-in-injection-molding\">part tolerances<\/a>. This makes nylon a popular choice for precision components like gears and bearings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nylon Material Properties&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Table 1 below lists the physical, mechanical, and molding properties of various grades of nylon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\" colspan=\"2\"><\/th><th scope=\"col\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matweb.com\/search\/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=ec7ea4063a2a4c709e89177103059919&amp;ckck=1\"><strong>Nylon 11<\/strong><\/a><\/th><th scope=\"col\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matweb.com\/search\/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=0e37a459c4eb452faa9d92659f9a0ccc\"><strong>Nylon 12<\/strong><\/a><\/th><th scope=\"col\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matweb.com\/search\/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=40166ddd5f96427390986e714d58a9fb\"><strong>Nylon 46<\/strong><\/a><\/th><th scope=\"col\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matweb.com\/search\/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=a2e79a3451984d58a8a442c37a226107\"><strong>Nylon 66<\/strong><\/a><\/th><th scope=\"col\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matweb.com\/search\/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=27ded617b5894f4b84e18f0f61f0606b\"><strong>Nylon 66<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matweb.com\/search\/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=27ded617b5894f4b84e18f0f61f0606b\"><strong>30% GF<\/strong><\/a><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Density (g\/cm3)<\/strong><\/td><td>1.04<\/td><td>1.31<\/td><td>1.20<\/td><td>1.17<\/td><td>1.38<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Linear Mold Shrinkage Rate (cm\/cm)<\/strong><\/td><td>0.0083<\/td><td>0.00694<\/td><td>0.0190<\/td><td>0.0139<\/td><td>0.00440<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Rockwell Hardness (R)<\/strong><\/td><td>107<\/td><td>98<\/td><td>95<\/td><td>114<\/td><td>117<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mechanical<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Tensile Strength at Yield (MPa)<\/strong><\/td><td>37.1<\/td><td>46.1<\/td><td>73.9<\/td><td>72.5<\/td><td>155<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Elongation at break (%)<\/strong><\/td><td>119<\/td><td>67.4<\/td><td>43.4<\/td><td>47.1<\/td><td>4.03<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Flexural Modulus (GPa)<\/strong><\/td><td>0.948<\/td><td>5.66<\/td><td>2.64<\/td><td>3.09<\/td><td>7.96<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Flexural Yield&nbsp; Strength (MPa)<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td>119<\/td><td>136<\/td><td>108<\/td><td>229<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nylon Injection Molding<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Drying Temperature (\u00b0C)<\/strong><\/td><td>90<\/td><td>92.6<\/td><td>93.7<\/td><td>81<\/td><td>82.2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Melt Temperature (\u00b0C)<\/strong><\/td><td>261<\/td><td>224<\/td><td>303<\/td><td>279<\/td><td>285<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Mold Temperature (\u00b0C)<\/strong><\/td><td>48.9<\/td><td>70.7<\/td><td>103<\/td><td>74.9<\/td><td>86.1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Table 1: Nylon Material Properties<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this data shows, nylon has excellent tensile and flexural strength. Nylon is also inherently hygroscopic and, as such, must be dried thoroughly before injection molding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nylon Material Processing&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/injection-molding-service\">Plastic injection molding<\/a> with nylon involves choosing the right processing parameters \u2014 below are some of the most important to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Viscosity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moisture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temperature control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Injection pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Injection speed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gassing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shrinkage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viscosity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon has a low melt viscosity and can flow quickly through tight channels before setting. This supports its use with injection molded parts that have thin walls and long injection paths. Nylon\u2019s low melt viscosity also helps to minmize cycle times since nylon will fill a mold cavity more quickly than other plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moisture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon absorbs moisture over time if it isn\u2019t stored correctly. In injection molded parts, excessive moisture can cause voids and surface defects. The rate of water absorption depends on factors such as the specific nylon grade and the relative humidity. A moisture content of between 0.15 and 0.20% is optimal, and higher humidity results in faster water absorption.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temperature Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon injection molding requires proper temperature control of both the mold and the material. Higher mold temperatures result in less shrinkage and enable the production of thin-walled parts due to the decrease in viscosity. Increased temperatures also improve the material\u2019s crystallinity, which increases strength and hardness. Note, however, that temperatures above 330\u00b0C can result in thermal degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Injection Pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To account for variations in viscosity, nylon injection molding machines need to maintain an appropriate injection pressure. Inadequate injection pressure can result in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/troubleshooting-injection-molding-weld-lines\">knit lines<\/a> and a surface that appears corrugated. Excessive injection pressure can result in part defects such as overflow or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/injection-molding-flash\">flash<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Injection Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon supports faster injection speeds because of its low viscosity, which results in shorter cycle times for reduced per-part costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gassing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gassing refers to the generation of excess gasses during injection molding. If these gasses are not venting properly, underfilling and surface defects can result. The causes of gassing include poor mold venting, and improper barrel temperature and throughput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shrinkage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon is prone to shrinkage, so it\u2019s important for injection molders to limit and control shrinkage rates \u2014 otherwise, shrinkage can cause dimensional inconsistencies and warping. To reduce shrinkage, increase the mold and barrel temperature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Succeeding With Nylon Injection Molding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylon is a commonly used thermoplastic that can be challenging to injection mold. When molded properly, however, nylon parts have excellent properties that make them suitable replacements for metal in some applications, including pump parts, fan blades, cable ties, screws, and gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fictiv is your operating system for custom manufacturing, whether you\u2019re injection molding, CNC machining, 3D printing or urethane casting.
