When people buy clothes, they usually write the fabric composition, cotton content, nylon content, and polyester content on the clothes label. However, most of the time, they do not know what information nylon is and what its characteristics are. The following article can explain these questions for us. Nylon is commonly known as nylon fiber, which is made by pulling nylon material into very fine fibers and weaving them into fabric. The detailed scientific name of nylon is polyamide, which is a widely used engineering plastic. According to different information about nylon, the common ones are nylon 6 and nylon 66, which are fibers made from nylon 6 and nylon 66.

（1） The characteristic of nylon fiber fabric is its excellent wear resistance. Nylon fabric is not only the best choice for down jackets and mountaineering clothes, but also often blended or interlaced with other fibers to improve the strength and fastness of the fabric. The characteristics of nylon fiber fabric can be summarized as follows:

1. Nylon fabric has the highest wear resistance among all types of fabrics, many times higher than other fiber fabrics in the same category, making it extremely durable.

2. Nylon fabric has good moisture absorption among synthetic fiber fabrics, so clothing made of nylon is more comfortable to wear than polyester clothing.

3. Nylon fabric is a lightweight fabric and is only listed after polypropylene and acrylic fabrics in synthetic fiber fabrics. Therefore, it is suitable for manufacturing hiking clothes, winter clothing, etc.

4. Nylon fabric has excellent elasticity and elastic recovery, but it is prone to deformation under small external forces, so its fabric is prone to wrinkling during wearing.

5. Nylon fabric has poor heat and light resistance, so it is important to pay attention to washing and maintenance conditions during wear and use to avoid damaging the fabric.

（2） The types of nylon fiber fabrics can be divided into three categories: pure spinning, blended, and interlaced. Each category contains many types, which will be briefly introduced below.

1. Nylon pure textiles are various fabrics woven from nylon silk, such as nylon taffeta, nylon crepe, etc. Due to the use of nylon filament weaving, it has the characteristics of smooth and durable feel, moderate price, but also has the defects of easy wrinkling and difficult recovery of the fabric. Nylon taffeta is commonly used for making lightweight clothing, down jackets, or raincoat fabrics, while nylon crepe is suitable for making summer dresses, spring and autumn shirts, etc.

2. Nylon blended and interlaced fabrics are fabrics obtained by blending or interlacing nylon long or short fibers with other fibers, combining the characteristics and benefits of each fiber. Rujian/Jinhua Da Nai is made by blending 15% nylon and 85% viscose into yarn, which has a warp density twice as high as weft density, a solid texture, and is tough and durable. The defects are poor elasticity, easy wrinkling, decreased wet strength, and easy sagging when worn. In addition, there are also types of fabrics such as viscose/jinfanli ding and viscose/jin/woolen woolen fabric, which are commonly used.
