Threaded Rod

Material

Manufactured from nylon 6.6, one of the hardest
and strongest grades of engineering plastic. Also available in polypropylene and acetal (technical data available on request)

Sizes

Standard

Isometric coarse to DIN 975
M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M16, M20.

Nominal Equivalent Sizes Metric size with nominal imperial equivalent
M6	M8	M10	M12	M16	M20
1/4"	5/16"	3/8"	1/2"	5/8"	3/4"

Length

Standard 1,000mm and studs clean cut to any length.

Quality

Mechanical strength properties are more critically controlled than for commercial nylon.

Raw material is granular tested to meet tight tolerance for melt flow index.

All nylon 6.6 rod is checked for cracks and inclusions and tensile strength is accurately controlled.
