What Is Nylon?
Nylon is a transliteration of polyamide fiber, we can be made it into long fibers or short fibers.
We usually abbreviate it as PA, and its basic component is aliphatic polyamide – [NHCO] connected by amide bonds.
What fabric is nylon?
It is an excellent fabric that is resistant to acid and alkali, wear-resistant, high-strength, low lateral stretching, and low water absorption.
It is not only a very high-quality textile fiber, but also thick, wear-resistant, easy to dye, has a bright dyeing effect, a delicate texture, and is fashionable and elegant.
Advantages Of Nylon Fabric
A. High strength and wear resistance
It is made of nylon fibers, which have high strength and wear resistance. So this means that it can withstand significant pressure and friction, making it very suitable for making various clothing, household items, etc.. Compared to cotton fabrics, it is more durable, less prone to wear and tear.
B. Waterproof performance
Because it has good waterproof performance and can effectively prevent water infiltration. So this characteristic makes nylon fabric an ideal choice for making outdoor clothing and household items, as we can use it to protect people from the invasion of rain and moisture.
C. Excellent processing performance
Because it has good processing performance. We can process it for cutting, sewing, fitting, and other processes well. So this makes it very easy and efficient to make various clothing and household items. Compared with other synthetic materials, it has better processing performance, reducing production costs and time.
D. Corrosion resistance
Because it has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemicals. So this means that we can use nylon to make packaging materials for various chemicals, petroleum and other products, as well as protective clothing in harsh environments.
E. Lightweight and soft
Because it is lightweight and soft, So we can carry and use it easily.
Disadvantages of Nylon Fabric
A. Poor breathability
Although it has good insulation, it has poor permeability in high temperature and high humidity environment. As a result, this can make clothing made of nylon fabric feel airtight, especially during sports or hot weather.
B. Easy to generate static electricity
Because it tends to generate static electricity. In some cases, static electricity can interfere with electronics or cause dust to cling to clothing surfaces. So this can affect people’s user experience and quality of life.
C. Not resistant to high temperatures
Because it is not resistant to high temperature, the high temperature is easy to corrode it. In high-temperature environments, it may deform or deteriorate, affecting their performance.
Therefore, when using it, we need to pay attention to temperature control to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
D. Not resistant to light exposure
Due to prolonged light exposure, it may experience aging, fading, and hardening . Therefore, when using nylon fabric, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure to light in order to extend its service life.
E. The price is relatively high
Although it has many advantages, its production cost is relatively high, so its price is also relatively high. What’s more, this may limit its application and development in certain fields.
Nylon Fabric Washing Method
(1) We ought to choose a general synthetic detergent, so that the water temperature does not exceed 45 degrees Celsius.
(2) We can twist it gently, but please do not expose it to direct sunlight or dry it by heating.
(3)We ought to use low temperature steam ironing.
(4)We ought to make it ventilate and dry after washing.
Maintenance of Nylon Fabric
(1)We can’t iron it at more than 110 degrees.
(2)We should use steam when ironing, and not dry iron.
Application of Nylon Fabric
(1) Nylon (fabric) short fiber
We can blend it with wool, acrylic, viscose fibers, etc. to make various clothing products.
(2) Nylon (fabric) long fiber
A. We can use Imitation silk for clothing, bedding, and home decoration.
B. We can use it to make various civil umbrellas and military parachutes, etc..
C. We can use it to make industrial applications include various tire cords, fishing nets, ropes, conveyor belts, etc. for airplanes, automobiles, etc..
(3) Nylon (fabric) elastic silk
We can not only use it to make socks, but also use it to make tights.
Nylon is a popular material, we use it in the production of knitted hats widely.
In our main products, we also have many styles that use this material.
