Injection molds start with a drawing of the part required for the required application. Then an engineer with knowledge of the injection mold-making process creates a drawing of all the parts of the mold. Making an injection mold takes a great deal of

Nylon plastic is a polyamide. So it is made up of two monomers. Each monomer contains 6 carbon atoms of hexamethylenediamine and six of adipic acid. FIVE REASONS NOT TO USE NYLON HYGROSCOPIC Nylon plastic is hygroscopic. That means it absorbs water even from the natural environment. And water absorbsion can cause changes in a part’s dimensions. NOT UV RESISTANT It is not UV resistant without additives. NYLON PLASTIC IS NOT CHEMICALLY RESISTANT And
