Cast Nylon
Rod & Sheet Supplier

Cast Nylon (PA6 / Polyamide 6) gains its superior properties through an anionic polymerisation casting process — delivering higher molecular weight, increased crystallinity, and zero internal stress. The result is a material significantly stronger and more wear-resistant than extruded or injection moulded nylon. Also known as MC Nylon or Nycast.

Dynex USA stocks Cast Nylon (PA6) rod and sheet across eight grades — natural, black, moly, blue, oil, wax and ESD variants. Supplying distributors and stockists exclusively across the United States. Same or next-day shipping from our Pennsylvania warehouse, no minimum order.

Cast Nylon Grades We Stock

MC-NAT

Cast Nylon MC-NAT is the standard Cast Nylon (PA6) grade. FDA and USDA approved for direct food contact. The highest tensile strength in the Cast Nylon family with broad chemical compatibility.

Why Choose MC-NAT

  • Ideal for food processing and food-contact applications requiring FDA/USDA compliance
  • Suited to applications demanding maximum tensile strength and wear resistance
  • Best for precision machined components requiring broad chemical compatibility

Unique Features of MC-NAT

  • FDA/USDA approved Cast Nylon for direct food contact
  • 12,300 psi tensile strength — highest in the Cast Nylon family
  • Excellent machinability with superior surface finish
  • Maximum versatility across temperature and chemical environments

MC-BLK

Cast Nylon MC-BLK is a black Cast Nylon (PA6) grade with identical mechanical performance to MC-NAT. Added UV resistance makes it suited to outdoor and weathering applications.

Why Choose MC-BLK

  • Ideal for outdoor applications requiring UV-resistant Cast Nylon
  • Suited to visible components where professional black appearance is required
  • Best where weathering resistance is more important than FDA compliance

Unique Features of MC-BLK

  • 12,300 psi tensile strength — identical to Cast Nylon MC-NAT
  • UV resistance for outdoor Cast Nylon applications
  • Superior weathering resistance compared to natural grade
  • Professional black finish for visible components

MC-Moly

Cast Nylon MC-Moly is enhanced with molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) throughout the material matrix for significantly reduced friction and improved wear resistance under high-load conditions.
