No matter what product you make, nylon has many benefits.
1. Nylon is durable
One of the main advantages of nylon is its strength and durability. Did you know that during World War II, nylon was usually only used in warfare because it was so useful?
Nylon plastic is a very strong material. It also has very high abrasion and abrasion resistance. Combine that with its high tensile and compressive strength and flame retardant properties, and you have one of the most durable plastics on the market.
2. Nylon is light in weight
Because nylon is a plastic, it is very light to produce. It is said to be 1/7 the weight of most conventional materials. This makes it ideal for applications requiring strength and strict weight constraints.
3. Nylon costs nothing
Nylon plastic is man-made, not grown or harvested. Because of this, the cost of producing nylon is quite low. Nylon fabrics can even be woven to the same feel as many high-cost materials such as merino wool, for a fraction of the price.
4. Nylon waterproof
"Is nylon waterproof?" is a question we are often asked. The answer is yes! Nylon is waterproof. Unlike many other materials, nylon forces moisture to surfaces where it can evaporate. Because it does not retain or absorb moisture, it is less likely to grow mold or other fungi, saving cleaning costs and time. This is why nylon plastics are often used in products that require a waterproof element, such as shower curtains and climbing equipment.
5. Nylon is easy to wash
Because nylon is waterproof, it is easy to care for and wash. Nylon fabric is shrink and wrinkle resistant and has wrinkle retention. Nylon plastic can also usually be simply wiped clean or cleaned easily.
6. Nylon is easy to produce
Nylon is an easy material to produce. It dries quickly and can be pre-tinted or dyed in the color of your choice. It also has low hygroscopicity. These advantages of nylon make it easy to process and simple to produce.
