Threaded rod is made of steel. What are you wanting to do? Your question makes no sense.

Answer 2

The web site link is to a company that sells nylon threaded bar.

Nylon threaded bar will be much less strong than steel threaded bar of the same diameter but can be used in the following ways to replace the more normal steel bolts threaded bar.
