Nylon is widely used in the construction industry for a number of different applications. It is ideal for the construction industry because of its low weight, high pressure-bearing capacity, high wear and corrosion resistance, and excellent impact resistance. Another advantage is Nylon’s low coefficient of friction, which means that it can often be applied with low or no lubrication.
Nylon is often used in rods, sheets, tubes, sheaves, wear pads, outrigger pads, drapery hardware, roofing bolts, fixtures, plumbing fittings, window frame spacers, and even safety nets.
The chief benefits of using Nylon in the construction industry are:
- Higher lifting capacity due to a reduced component weight
- Resistance to corrosion from weather-related stresses
- Longer component service life
- Reduced stick slip
