NYLON 6 - 6/6
Nylon will absorb 2.5% of its own body weight to achive its equilibrium point. The difference between a  "wet" and "dry" Nylon is subtantial for property testing specification that are made in a "wet" equilibrium condition.   
  
    -  High mechanical strength
 -  Great rigidity
 -  Great stability to heat
 -  Excellent toughness even at subzero temperatures
 -  Good fire behaviour
 -  Good resistance to oils, grease and solvents
 -  Dyes very easily
    
ACETAL
  
    -  High rigidity
 -  High mechanical strenght
 -  Good elasticity
 -  Excellent abrasion resistance
 -  Good resistance to oils, grease and solvents
 -  Low water absorption
    
POLYPROPYLENE
  
    -  Excellent chemical resistant including acids
 -  Ideal combination of medium strength and creep strength
 -  Low water absorption
    
POLYESTER
  
    -  High rigidity and hardness
 -  Low tendecy to creep
 -  Short term heat distortion temperature
 -  Good abrasion resistance
 -  Good insulation properties
 -  Minimal water absorption
 -  Good chemical resistance
 -  Good impact strength at low temperatures
