Nylon 6

== Description ==
Nylon 6 is made by polymerizing caprolactam under pressure. Nylon 6 was first sold as Perlon L in 1939 by I.G.Farbenindustrie. It was produced during W.W.II for parachutes. Nylon 6 is very similar to nylon 6,6 except that it has a greater affinity for dyes and has a lower melting point. Its thermoplastic fibers are strong, tough, elastic and have high gloss. They are extruded through a spinneret with a circular cross section. Nylon monofilaments are used for brushes, surgical sutures, tennis strings, and fishing lines. Nylon 6 is also used for heat-seal films because it has low water vapor transmission rates. Cellular nylon foam is made from nylon 6 for lightweight buoys and flotation products.

Nylon fiber

== Description ==
A generic name for any manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long chain synthetic polyamide having recurring amide groups (-NH-CO) as an integral part of the polymer chain (Federal Trade Commission definition). Nylon 6,6 was first made in the early 1930s by W. H.Carothers as a textile fiber called fiber #66; the name nylon was coined in 1938 by DuPont. By 1939, nylon 6,6 and nylon 6 were being commercially produced in the US and Germany, respectively. Nylon 6,6 and nylon 6 are still the most common nylons used in fibers. All nylons are strong, tough, elastic and have high gloss. They are extruded through a spinneret and have a circular cross section. Nylon monofilaments are used for brushes, surgical sutures, tennis strings and fishing lines. Titanium dioxide may be added to the surface of nylon fibers to reduce luster. Nylon fibers are used for clothing, undergarments, linings, carpets, tire cords, conveyor belts, parachutes, hosiery and brushes. Nylon fibers have excellent dyeability and are twice as durable as cotton.

Nylon resin

== Description ==
A general name for a family of synthetic long-chain polyamide resins. Nylons are classified with system in which the word nylon is followed by a numeral indicating the number of carbon atoms in the monomer, such as nylon 6. When two numbers follow, such as nylon 6,6, the polymer was made from a diamine (first number) and a dibasic acid (second number). Nylon 6,6 was first made in the early 1930s by W. H.Carothers as a textile fiber called fiber #66; the name nylon was coined in 1938 by DuPont. Nylons are thermoplastic resins that are characterized by their excellent tensile strength, toughness, elasticity, and abrasion resistance. They have good electrical resistance but can accumulate static electricity. Nylons also have low water absorption and have of good affinity for dyestuffs. Nylon fibers are compatible with wool and cotton and are often used in blended textiles to increase wear and crease resistance. Nylons are also used paints, films, foams, and molded parts.

Nylon rivet

== Description ==
[Micro Plastics] A brand name for a specific two-part moldednylon fastener. Micro Plastics Snap Rivets are molded in high dielectric (UL94V2) Nylon 6/6 and can be installed without tools. Nylon rivets provide as mini-racheting (male and female) action that can secure box or tray corners. When the rivet is placed in the hole, the smooth, oversized head is pressed, which snaps the rivet in place by expanding its legs and firmly locking the components in place. It is also used to reinforce glued attachments. The Nylon rivets work well on Coroplast board (Arenstein et al. 2019).
