What kind of fabric is nylon?

Nylon, also known as nylon, was the first synthetic fiber to appear in the world. Its scientific name is polyamide fiber, also known as nylon (Nylon). Its basic composition is aliphatic polyamide connected by amide bond-[NHCO]-, which is the collective name of polyamide fiber produced in China. Abrasion resistance, good resilience. It can be purely spun and blended for various garments and knitted products. The appearance of nylon makes a new face of textiles, its synthesis is a major breakthrough in the synthetic fiber industry, but also an important milestone in polymer chemistry.

Characteristics of nylon fabrics:

Nylon fabric is the best material for finished products such as down jacket, mountain climbing clothes, fishing nets, etc. It is often blended or interwoven with other fibers, and it has the following.

characteristics:

1: strong abrasion resistance, is the best one in the fabric, much higher than other fiber fabrics.
2: nylon fabric is lighter, more comfortable to wear.
3: elasticity and its recovery is very good, but its fabric is easily deformed by external forces.
4: chemical stability is also very good, alkali resistance is not acid resistance.
5: The moisture absorption of nylon fabric is better in synthetic fiber.
6: light and heat resistance are relatively poor, the fabric will become yellow and strength decline after a long time in the sun.

Advantages and disadvantages

The biggest advantage is that it is strong and wear-resistant, and it is the optimal one. Small density, light fabric, good elasticity, fatigue damage resistance, chemical stability is also very good, alkali resistance not acid resistance!
The biggest disadvantage is that the sunlight resistance is not good, the fabric will become yellow after a long time in the sun, strength decline, moisture absorption is also bad, but better than acrylic, polyester.
