Overview Of The Five Structural Characteristics Of Nylon Sewing Thread

Nylon Sewing Thread

Polyamide can be obtained by ring-opening polymerization of lactic acid amines, or by polycondensation of diamines and dibasic acids. Nylon is a term for polyamide fiber (nylon), which can be made into long fibers or short fibers. The emergence of nylon has given textiles a new look, and its synthesis is a major breakthrough in the synthetic fiber industry.

Polyamide (PA, commonly known as nylon) contains many repeated amide groups on its main chain. When used as a plastic, it is called nylon, and when used as a synthetic fiber, it is called nylon.

Nylon sewing thread is a textile fabric, which has many types such as monofilament, ply yarn, and special yarn. Compared with the glossiness of real silk, nylon silk fabrics have poor gloss, as if they are coated with a layer of wax. At the same time, you can feel the friction between the fabrics by rubbing them back and forth with your hands.

Five characteristics of nylon sewing thread

  1. The wear resistance of nylon sewing thread fabric is many times higher than that of other fiber fabrics of the same product.
  2. The hygroscopicity of nylon sewing thread is better than that of polyester fabrics, so the clothes made of nylon are more comfortable to wear than those made of polyester.
  3. Nylon sewing thread fabric is a light fabric, suitable for making mountaineering clothes, winter clothes, etc.
  4. Nylon sewing thread has good elastic recovery, but it is easy to deform under external force, so its fabric is easy to wrinkle during wearing, and the fabric is not stiff. Therefore, nylon is often blended or interwoven with other fibers to improve the strength and fastness of the fabric.
  5. Nylon sewing thread fabric has poor heat resistance and light resistance. During wearing and use, attention should be paid to the washing and maintenance conditions to avoid damaging the fabric.

Conclusion

Nylon sewing thread fabric has good hygroscopicity, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and is light and thin, so it is an ideal choice for sportswear, swimwear, fitness wear, down jackets, and mountaineering wear.
