Benefits of polyamide 6.6 (nylon)
Strength
Nylon nonwovens have a high tensile tear strength and achieve maximum strength values even at low surface weights.
Chemical resistance
Nylon nonwovens are resistant to most solvents, alkalis and diluted acids.
Heat resistance
Nylon nonwovens have a melting point of approximately 260°C (500°F) and are dimensionally stable up to approximately 200°C (400°F). They can be processed at temperatures up to 220°C (425°F) for short periods.
Air permeability
The wide range of surface weights allows a fine-tuned selection of different air permeabilities.
Homogeneity
The uniform fibre distribution makes nylon nonwovens exceptionally homogeneous technical textiles.
Colour
Nylon can be dyed and printed using all common processes.
