Nylon yarn possesses remarkable elasticity, exceptional strength, and impressive wear resistance, making it a front-runner among all types of fibers. When nylon filaments or staple fibers are blended or interwoven with other fibers, the resulting fabric inherits the distinct characteristics and advantages of each fiber type. In everyday applications, nylon finds its way into various products such as medical wear and knitwear. Examples include durable single stockings, elastic stockings, nylon scarves, mosquito nets, nylon laces, resilient nylon coats, and an array of nylon or blended silk fabrics.
While nylon filament is widely employed as a raw material for weaving and knitting due to its desirable properties, it is important to note that its susceptibility to fading and damage from prolonged exposure to sunlight makes it less suitable for outdoor applications.
