What is nylon cloth? what do you use it for?

brief introduction

The scientific name of polyamide fiber is the general name of polyamide fiber produced in China. Internationally known as nylon. High strength, wear resistance and good resilience. It can be spun and blended into various garments and knitwear. The main varieties are nylon 6 and nylon 66, and their physical properties are similar. Nylon has better hygroscopicity and dyeability than polyester. Alkali-resistant but not acid-resistant, the fiber strength will decrease after long-term sun exposure. Nylon people have the characteristics of heat setting and can keep the bending deformation formed when heated.

Nylon yarn can be made into elastic yarn, and short silk can be blended with cotton and acrylic fiber to improve its strength and elasticity. In addition to its application in clothing and decorations, it is also widely used in industries such as ropes, transmission belts, hoses, ropes, fishing nets, tires and parachutes.

Definition of nylon

Nylon is the Chinese name of synthetic fiber nylon, which is also translated as "nylon" and "nylon". The scientific name is polyamide fiber, that is, polyamide fiber. Jinzhou Chemical Fiber Factory is the first factory in China to synthesize polyamide fiber, hence the name "nylon". It is the earliest synthetic fiber variety in the world, and is widely used because of its excellent performance and rich raw material resources.

Characteristics of nylon

Good strength and wear resistance, ranking first among all fibers. Its wear resistance is 10 times of cotton fiber, 10 times of dry viscose fiber and 140 times of wet fiber. Therefore, its durability is very good.

Nylon fabric has excellent elasticity and elastic recovery, but it is easy to deform under a small external force, so its fabric is easy to wrinkle during wearing.

Poor ventilation and permeability, easy to generate static electricity.

The hygroscopicity of nylon fabric is a good variety in synthetic fiber fabric, so the clothing made of nylon is more comfortable than polyester clothing.

It has good moth resistance and corrosion resistance.

The heat resistance and light resistance are not good enough, and the ironing temperature should be controlled below 140℃. Pay attention to the washing and maintenance conditions during wearing and using, so as not to damage the fabric.

Nylon fabric is a kind of light fabric, which is second only to polypropylene and acrylic fabrics in synthetic fiber fabrics, and is suitable for making mountaineering clothes and winter clothes.

All kinds of nylon

There are many kinds of nylon, including nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 1 1, nylon 6 10. The most important ones are nylon 66 and nylon 6. All kinds of nylon have different properties, but the common feature is that there are amide chains on the main chain of macromolecules, which can absorb water molecules and form a crystalline structure. They are all excellent clothing fibers with excellent wear resistance.

Nylon fiber fabrics can be divided into three categories: pure spinning, blended and interwoven fabrics, and each category contains many varieties.

1. nylon pure textiles are all kinds of fabrics made of nylon yarns, such as nylon taffeta and nylon crepe. Because it is woven with long nylon filaments, it has the characteristics of smooth feel, durability and moderate price, but it also has the disadvantages that the fabric is easy to wrinkle and not easy to recover. Nylon taffeta is mostly used to make light clothes, down jackets or raincoat fabrics, while nylon crepe is suitable for summer clothes, spring and autumn shirts and so on.

2. Nylon blended fabrics and interwoven fabrics are made by blending or interweaving nylon filaments or short fibers with other fibers, which have the characteristics and advantages of various fibers. For example, viscose/brocade gabardine is blended with 15% nylon and 85% viscose, which has the characteristics of twice the warp density than the weft density, thick body feeling, toughness and durability, but the disadvantages are poor elasticity, easy wrinkling, decreased wet strength and easy sagging when wearing. In addition, there are viscose/brocade, viscose/brocade/woolen tweed and other varieties, which are commonly used fabrics.
