9. Design & Processing Tips
Moisture control: Dry PA6/PA66 before molding; prefer PA12, PA612 or PPA for wet working conditions
Glass fiber reinforced nylon: Avoid sharp corners to prevent stress concentration; adopt proper mold temperature to reduce warpage
Material pairing: Nylon matched with steel achieves optimal friction effect; avoid nylon-on-nylon friction pairing
