Cast Nylon (PA 6 G) Rod

Cast polyamide 6 (PA 6 G), also called cast nylon, is known in the Turkish market by the trade name Kestamid. It is wear-resistant, tough and lightweight, and is used instead of metal for gears, rollers and bushes.

Material and sizes

Cast PA 6 · PA 6 G

Cast nylon

Cast polyamide 6 in natural (cream) colour. It has high wear resistance and toughness, damps shock and vibration and has good sliding properties. Because it is produced by casting, it has higher crystallinity and lower internal stress than extruded PA6 and can be made in large sizes. It absorbs moisture from the environment, which changes its dimensions slightly; this needs to be taken into account for close-tolerance parts.

Frequently asked questions

Are Kestamid, polyamide and nylon the same thing?

Kestamid is a trade name widely used in the Turkish market for cast polyamide 6 (PA 6 G). Polyamide and nylon refer to the same family of materials.

Does cast nylon (Kestamid) absorb moisture?

Yes. Polyamide absorbs some moisture from the air, and its dimensions can change slightly. For close-tolerance parts that will operate in humid conditions, PET-P or acetal (POM-C) may be more suitable.

Why can the invoiced weight differ from the calculated weight?

The calculator gives the theoretical weight. The actual weight varies with dimensional tolerances and cutting allowance; we invoice on the actual weight as weighed.

What information should I send for a quote?

We only need the size (diameter × length), quantity and delivery location. If you fill in the calculator above, these details are added to the WhatsApp message automatically.
