Product Application Information
Nylon hex nuts are suitable for use in areas where good insulation and corrosion resistance is required. These hex nuts are suitable for use in high voltage assemblies and electronic applications.
Why use a nylon hex nut?
Nylon is extremely versatile and the most widely used material for hex nuts. The durable nylon construction makes them lightweight, non-magnetic, non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-abrasive and non-conductive.
Is there a downside to using nylon hex nuts?
Fasteners made from nylon may suffer from degradation when exposed to UV rays. They may also not be suitable for use in high strength applications.
Are they easy to assemble? Hex Nuts are designed to give the user an easy assembling experience.
