Product Overview

Nylon, Polyamide Balls are precision-engineered plastic spheres made from Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 to deliver a reliable balance of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and lightweight performance for industrial components and medical-grade device assemblies. Engineered and tested across thousands of installations, these nylon balls are selected when smooth rolling, low friction, and stable performance in common chemical environments are essential.

Nylon Balls 6 and 6.6 offer strong corrosion and wear resistance while being lightweight. In general solvents, alkalis, weak mineral acids, and the majority of organic acids, nylon spheres are insoluble. Smooth surfaces are used on nylon balls to lessen friction-related wear, supporting longer service life in flow control, motion guidance, and low-load bearing applications.
