Understanding the Versatility of Nylon Fabrics
#

Nylon fabric, crafted from nylon fibers, stands out for its remarkable flexibility, alkali resistance, and superior abrasion resistance. Produced by melting and spinning thiamine caprolactam (CPL), nylon offers a lightweight alternative to many other textiles. Its excellent moisture absorption, easy maintenance, and silky hand feel make it a preferred material for a wide range of uses. For those seeking a unique texture, crinkle nylon fabric provides a distinct look and feel.

Chemical Composition and Main Types
#

Nylon, chemically known as polyamide, is derived from petroleum products and is among the most widely used synthetic fibers in industrial production. The two primary types of nylon fabric are:

  • Nylon 6
  • Nylon 66

These fabrics can be enhanced with various backing treatments, including TPU / PVC, PVC sponge, PU, TPE, TPU, NEO, hydrostatic film, WR, and WP, depending on the requirements of the final product.

Classification by Denier (D)
#

Nylon fabrics are categorized by their thickness and intended application. The denier rating helps determine the fabric’s suitability for different uses. Yi Chun offers a comprehensive range of nylon fabrics, including:

  • Under 70 D: Thin and lightweight, ideal for delicate applications.
  • 70D - 200D: Medium thickness, suitable for general-purpose uses.
  • 400D – 800D: Thicker fabric for heavy-duty applications.
  • 1000D – 2520D: Designed for extreme conditions and heavy-duty use.
  • TASLON: Known for high tenacity and elasticity.
  • OTHERS: Includes specialty nylon fabrics with unique treatments.

A notable example is the Nylon 70D Fabric, a TPU / PVC waterproof fabric that balances durability and lightness, making it ideal for rainwear and outdoor gear.
