Nylon is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer belonging to the polyamide family. Known for its exceptional mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and thermal stability, it is widely used in engineering plastics, textiles, and automotive parts.
The most commonly traded and used types of nylon include:
Nylon 6 (PA6) – Offers good toughness and impact resistance.
Nylon 66 (PA66) – Higher melting point and better abrasion resistance than PA6.
Glass-Filled Nylon – Reinforced for enhanced strength and stiffness.
Recycled Nylon – Made from post-industrial or post-consumer waste.
Nylon Granules – Virgin, off-grade, or recycled
Nylon Regrind & Flakes – From rejected or shredded parts
Nylon Lumps – Factory scrap and runners
Nylon Fibers & Yarn – For textile and industrial use
Nylon Film & Sheets – For packaging and industrial linings
High tensile strength
Excellent wear and chemical resistance
Low coefficient of friction
Good fatigue and impact resistance
Heat resistance (up to 220°C for PA66)
Automotive: Engine covers, gears, radiator tanks
Textiles: Stockings, activewear, parachutes
Electricals: Connectors, cable ties, housings
Industrial: Conveyor belts, bearings, rollers
Consumer Goods: Kitchen utensils, zippers, toothbrushes
