Nylon fiber, also named as polyamide fiber, mainly have 2 types: nylon 6 and nylon 66. The most prominent advantage of nylon fiber is its excellent wear resistance; also, it has good elasticity, the elastic recovery rate is comparable to wool; meanwhile, with small specific gravity(second only to polypropylene fiber and lighter than polyester fiber), nylon fiber can be processed into fine, soft and smooth silk, woven into a beautiful and durable fabric. It also has same corrosion resistance as polyester fiber and resists worms or mold.

It can be used for spinning or needle-punched non-woven fabrics. And finished products are widely used in clothing, quilt covers, socks, blankets, carpets, fishing nets, tire cords, etc.
