Nylon Fiber Technical Specifications

High-Performance Nylon Fibers Overview

RFL surface treated, engineered textile fibers. Constructed, multi-filament, plied and twisted fiber bundles designed and treated for enhanced matrix dispersion. Nylon is a semi-crystalline material.

Characteristics

Nylon is characterized by its dimensional stability, relative high melting point, high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, chemical stability, tear and cut strength and light weight making it popular for use in an array of industrial and consumer products. Nylon fiber is considered a performance engineered thermoplastic.
