Nylon (Polyamide) Balls
Nylon balls are insoluble in diluted mineral acids and most organic acids. Exceptionally resistant to alkalis, petroleum oil and greases at temperatures up to 300°F. An excellent choice for lightweight, resilient and abrasion-resistant applications in hot, chemically aggressive and humid environments. Used without lubrication, provide greater toughness than most plastics. Environmentally friendly and reusable.
