Nylon

Nylon is the generic name of a family of long-chain polymeric amides. General characteristics of nylon include toughness, strength, abrasion and fatigue resistance, low coefficient of friction, resiliency, and heat resistance.

When it comes to rollers for different devices, there are many advantages to using nylon. Nylon rollers are quieter than other types, such as steel rollers. They also effectively resist corrosion. Nylon rollers will not easily rust due to moisture. Many of these properties can be enhanced by the addition of molybdenum disulphide and other fillers. Nylon is resistant to hydrocarbons and chemicals, such as acids and alkalis, ketones, and esters.
