NYLON1. Nylon is an artificial fiber and does not have any natural

fiber as its raw material

2. It was 1st introduced as a fabric at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

3. Nylon was first marketed as an alternative to silk. It’s light, strong and can be dyed into beautiful colors and patterns it is considerably stronger than silk and can withstand a lot of wear and tear before being damaged. It is one of the most commonly used polymers.

4. Wallace Carothers can be considered the father of

the science of man-made polymers and the man responsible

for the invention of nylon

MANSI

1.Durability- it has high tenacity fibers

2.High elongation3.High resistant to insects,

fungi, animals, as well as chemicals

4.Abrasion resistant

CHARACTERSTICS

NAMAN

a) Drapability : Fabrics of nylon filament yarn have excellent draping qualities. The drape of the fabrics made from nylon can be varied depending on the yarn size. The light weight sheer fabrics of nylon have high-draping quality. The medium-weight dress fabrics can drape very nicely.

b) Absorbency : Nylon fabrics have low absorbency. The main advantage of low absorbency is that the water remains on the surface of the fabrics and runs off the smooth fabric and hence dries quickly..

c) Cleanliness and Washability : Nylon fabrics are easy care garments. Nylon fabrics are smooth, non-absorbent and dry quickly. Hot water should be avoided during washing as the hot water may cause wrinkling in some fabric constructions.

d) Effect of Bleaches : The nylon fabrics are white and generally do not require bleaching. The nylon fabrics which pick up colour or develop greying should be bleached with oxidising bleaches such as hydrogen peroxide.NAMAN

a) Resistance to Insects: Nylon is resistance to the moths and fungi. 

b) Reaction to Alkalis: Nylon has excellent resistance to alkalis but the frequent and prolonged exposures to alkalis will weaken the nylon fabrics.

c) Reaction to Acids: Nylon is less resilient to the action of acids and is damaged by strong acids.

d) Affinity for Dyes: Nylon can be easily dyed with a wider range of dyes. The dyed fabrics retain their colour and have good resistance to fading.

e) Shrinkage: Nylon fabrics retain their shape and appearance after washing. It has good stability and does not shrink.

NAMAN

a) Composition: The nylons are polyamides with recurring amide groups. They contain carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen elements.

b) Strength: Nylon has good tenacity and the strength is not lost with age. Nylon has a high strength to weight ratio. It is one of the lightest textile fibres is at the same time also one of the strongest. It is one of the fibres which are added at the points of wear such as knees and seats of jeans and toes and heels of socks.. Nylon has excellent abrasion resistance.

c) Elasticity: Nylon has good elasticity which makes it much suitable for the apparel purposes. The excellent elasticity would mean that the nylon materials return to their original length and shreds the wrinkles or creases. Nylon like other fibres has its own limit of elasticity..

d) Resilience: Nylon fabrics have excellent resilience. Nylon fabrics retain their smooth appearance and the wrinkles from the usual daily activities can be removed easily. NAMAN

USES OF NYLON• It is highly durable and its fibres are used for

making seat belts, tyre cords, clothes etc.• It is also used for making common household

articles, such as toothbrushes, combs, hooks, etc.

• It is also used for making ropes for rock climbing and fishing nets.
