VAC Nylon Tubing is characterised by a combination of high strength, toughness and abrasion resistance and is ranked as an engineered plastic. Nylon is also known as polyamide. This is because of its unqiue balance of mechanical, thermal, frictional and chemical properties. Nylon behaves in a predictable, reproducible manner under load and in known evironments. Nylon components retain their high level of performance and engineering properties in long terms applications even at comparitively high temperatures.
