Nylon Fiber | Manufactured Fiber Nylon | Properties and End Uses

Nylon Fiber
FTC(Federal Trade Commission) Definition-A manufactured fiber in which the fiber forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polyamide in which less than 85% of the amide-linkages are attached directly (-CO-NH-) to two aliphatic groups. It was first synthetic true fiber, produced by "Dupont Company" on 28 February, 1935.

Raw Materials of Nylon 6, 6

• Adepic acid [ (CH2)4(COOH)2 ]
• Hexamethylene Diamine [ H2N(CH2)6NH2 ]

Raw Materials of Nylon 6

• Polyamides
• Caprolactum

Properties of Nylon Fiber

• Highest strong fiber.
• Elasticity is high.
• Abrasion resistant
• Lustrous
• Easy to wash
• Resistant to damage from oil and many chemicals
• Can be precolored or dyed in wide range of colors
• Resilient
• Low in moisture absorbency, MR - 4%
• Filament yarns provide smooth, soft, long-lasting fabrics
• Spun yarns lend fabrics light weight and warmth

End Uses:

• Apparel
• Home Furnishings
• Industrial useExtensively use for producing rope

Synthetic Fiber Acrylic | Properties and Uses of Acrylic

Acrylic Fiber
FTC(Federal Trade Commission) Definition- A manufactured fiber in which the fiberforming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of acrylonitrile units (-CH2-CH[CN]-)x. First Commercially produced by "Dupont Company" on 1950s. It is called as synthetic wool for it's cold protecting characteristics. It is produced in the method of dry spinning where hot air is used for fiber formation.


Available Fiber Formation

•     Acrylic Tow Fiber
•     Acrylic Staple Fiber

Raw Materials of Acrylic
Acrylonitrile [  (-CH2-CH[CN]-)x ]

Properties of Acrylic Fiber

• Synthetic wool.
• Good in moisture absorb, MR - 1.5%.
• Excellent wickability & quick drying.
• Flexible aesthetics for wool-like, cotton-like, or blended appearance
• Washed easily
• Well resistant to moths, oil, and chemicals
• Easily dyeable with excellent color fastness
• Excellent resistance to sunlight degradation

End Uses:

• Apparel
• Home Furnishings
• Industrial Use
• Others
