Is nylon a plastic or a textile? Analyze the material properties of nylon

date: 2024-02-24
Nylon is a synthetic material that can be made into both plastics and textiles.
Nylon material properties:

Nylon was originally developed as a synthetic fiber material, and later in the application it was found that it can be made into plastics, which shows that its material properties are very good. 

Nylon is a synthetic material that contains an amide group of polymers, so it is also known as polyamide. 

Nylon has high strength, excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, so it is widely used in industrial production, such as manufacturing various mechanical parts, chemical equipment, auto parts and so on.

The application field of nylon
1. Textiles
Nylon synthetic fiber can be made into a variety of textiles, such as socks, pantyhose, swimwear, sportswear, down jackets and so on. Nylon fiber is of high strength, light weight, comfortable to wear, anti-wrinkle, easy to dry, is a cost-effective fiber material.
2. Industrial sector
Nylons high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and good machining properties make it an indispensable material in the manufacture of industrial products, mechanical parts, aerospace parts and other fields. In the chemical industry, nylon materials are also used to manufacture corrosion-resistant equipment such as pipes and valves.
3. Automotive sector
Nylon is also widely used in the field of auto parts, such as frame, body, cylinder head, automatic transmission, water pump wheel, high pressure tubing and so on. The application of nylon materials in the automotive field can not only reduce the overall quality of vehicles, improve fuel efficiency, but also improve vehicle performance and reduce operating costs.
The nature of nylon
Nylon is a polymer synthetic material, which is formed by processing and treatment on the basis of polymer. Nylon is the main component of chemical synthesis polymer, its molecular weight is very high, small molecular weight nylon is widely known as cellulose, large molecular weight nylon is called resin.
