Nylon 66 offers minimal creep with better stretchability and abrasion-resistance capability. These features make nylon 66 yards as the most ideal choice for industrial and clothing fabric applications. Besides, the primary usages of nylon 66 are mostly in the apparel sector. In apparel, we can see the greater stiffness and wear-resistance capability for casual clothes.
Recycled Nylon Yarn
Nylon yarn is a kind of synthetic yarn that may be designed to have the appearance and texture of many different natural fibers. It is a strong, flexible plastic yarn that has been used in a variety of sectors for commercial purposes. Nylon yarn was initially developed as a replacement for silk when the former material became scarce.
100% Nylon 6 DTY Yarn
The most economical technique used in the manufacturing of nylon 6 nylon is a melt-spinning process, in this process, we feed nylon polymer chips, which are then melted a pump help to pump the melting nylon polymer to move through a spinneret. There is a grid (filter) at the base which allow only molten liquid to pass through.
Nylon High Tenacity Yarn
The term "nylon tenacity" refers to the strength of nylon fiber/yarn. The ultimate breaking force of the nylon yarn and its linear density are used to calculate nylon tenacity. The ultimate force of nylon yarn is the maximum force at which the yarn begins to break. Linear density is a measure of the amount of mass per unit length. Yarn tenacity is expressed in grams per denier or grams per tex.
Nylon Filament Yarn
A filament yarn is that which is made up of one or more strands, which are continuous that spun the whole length of the yarn. The term "nylon" refers to a group of synthetic polymers called polyamides. Nylon filament yarn may be nylon monofilament yarn or nylon multifilament yarn. If nylon yarn is made from single strands or ply of nylon filament it is known as nylon monofilament yarn, nylon monofilament yarn can be produced either directly by spinning or by separating the mother nylon multifilament yarn.
Nylon Monofilament Yarn
If nylon yarn is made from single strands or ply of nylon filament, it is known as nylon monofilament yarn, nylon monofilament yarn can be produced either directly by spinning or by separating the mother nylon multifilament yarn.
100% Nylon 6 Hank Dyed High Twisted DTY Yarn
Drawn Textured Yarn is what is meant by the abbreviation DTY, it is one of the more common nylon yarns. Pull Textured Yarn is created by employing high-speed texturizing machines to simultaneously twist and draw nylon partially oriented yarns (POY), and this establishes the drawing texture of the yarn.
Nylon FDY
The term "nylon FDY yarn" refers to fully drawn nylon yarn. Like POY manufacturing, Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) production involves higher spinning speeds than POY. The most prevalent type of nylon yarn is called nylon POY, or partially oriented yarn, which is the material used to manufacture nylon DTY or nylon FDY. The textile industry normally adopts a single-step, high-speed method is used to produce nylon FDY.

For that, you don't need to look anywhere else, as we have covered all the necessary information for you under one roof.
Introduction of nylon yarn
Nylon, chemically known as polyamide (PA) , is the world's first synthetic fiber. Compared with polyester yarn, nylon yarn has high mechanical strength, excellent moisture absorption and heat resistance, its abrasion resistance is 10 times of cotton yarn, wool yarn 20 times, in addition, nylon yarn density is smaller, 35% lighter than cotton yarn, 25% lighter than viscose yarns. The fabric made of nylon yarn is light and soft, and the skin feels gentle. It is widely used in high-end clothing and special functional clothing.
Yarns made using natural fibers such as wool are pretty expensive, especially when it is entirely organic. This is where nylon yarn comes to the rescue. It is designed to imitate the look of wool, cotton, and other natural fibers that too at a lower cost.
So, what exactly is nylon yarn? It is a type of yarn made from a synthetic material called nylon fiber, which resembles the look of many natural yarns. At first, nylon was specially created to substitute silk when it was hard to obtain; however, with time, it is now being used in place of many natural fibers.
The features of nylon yarn (polyamide yarn)
Nylon yarn (polyamide yarn) can be widely used in various industries, mainly because nylon materials have many natural fibers do not have performance advantages. For example, the fabric containing nylon yarn (polyamide yarn) is more wear-resistant, not easy to wear out, because the nylon material friction coefficient is small, wear-resistant. By understanding the performance advantages of nylon, you can better understand why nylon yarns are so widely used.
The features of nylon yarn (polyamide yarn) | |
Performance advantage | Specific instructions |
High mechanical strength, good toughness | Nylon's tensile strength is higher than that of metal, and its compressive strength is comparable to that of metal, but it is not as rigid as metal. The tensile strength is close to the yield strength, more than double that of ABS. The ability to absorb shock and stress vibration is strong, and the impact strength is much higher than that of ordinary plastics, and is better than that of acetal resin. Therefore, nylon yarns (polyamide yarns) are used in fabrics that require toughness, such as climbing ropes and safety equipment. |
Outstanding performance | Common escalator handrails, new bicycle plastic rims and other occasions where periodic fatigue is very obvious are often used in nylon. The same principle applies to the application of nylon threads in tire cord layers. |
High softening point, heat resistant | Such as PA46, etc., the heat distortion temperature of high crystalline nylon is high, and it can be used for a long time at 150 degrees. After the PA66 is reinforced by glass fiber, its heat distortion temperature reaches more than 250 degrees. Therefore, nylon yarn (polyamide yarn) is often used in fabrics used in high temperature environments such as industrial fields or fire clothing. |
Small friction coefficient, wear-resistant | Nylon has self-lubricating properties and low noise when used for moving mechanical components. It can be used without lubricant when the friction effect is not too high: if it is really necessary to use lubricant to reduce friction or help dissipate heat, water, oil, grease, etc. can be selected. . Therefore, nylon has a long service life as a transmission component. In the same way, clothes containing nylon yarns also last longer. |
preservative | Nylon is very resistant to alkalis and most salt solutions, and also resistant to weak acids, engine oils, gasoline, aromatic compounds and general solvents. It can resist the erosion of gasoline, oil, fat, alcohol, weak city, etc., and has the good anti-aging ability. Therefore, nylon yarn has also been used in the chemical industry. |
Self-extinguishing, non-toxic, odorless | It is affectionate to biological erosion and has good antibacterial and antifungal abilities. |
Excellent electrical performance | Good electrical insulation, nylon has high resistance per unit volume and high breakdown voltage. In a dry environment, it can be used as a power frequency insulating material, and it still has good electrical insulation green even in high humidity environments. |
Lightweight, easy to dye, easy to shape | Fast flow due to low melt viscosity. It is easy to fill the mold, the freezing point after filling is high, and the shape can be quickly set, so the molding cycle is short and the production efficiency is high. This is why nylon yarns can be used in home textiles. |

Types of Nylon Yarn
Unlike other yarns that offer just one variety, nylon yarn has various types that you can select depending on your choice application and requirements. The different types of Nylon yarn include:
1- Nylon Partially Oriented Yarn
Nylon partially oriented yarn (POY) is the first type of Nylon yarn that comes in different lusters like semi-dull, bright, or even black and is made directly from the melt spinning process. This kind of yarn is usually preferred for manufacturing textured yarn, and the end result is preferred due to better drape, softer feel, wrinkle resistance, higher recovery, etc.
2- Nylon Highly Oriented Yarn
This kind of yarn is similar to that of partially oriented yarn; however, the only difference is in the manufacturing process since the nylon HOY is produced through a high-speed spinning process. It gives stabilization and crystallization without the need for a drawing process. Nylon HOY is comparatively brighter and softer and is therefore preferred for clothing and the process of fancy yarn.
3- Nylon Air Textured Yarn
Nylon ATY or Air Textured Yarn is also commonly named spun-like yarn and is obtained when the POY nylon yarn is drawn and texturized in the presence of air in a chamber. The significant properties of this kind of yarn include being wear-resistant, light in weight, and easy to clean, due to which they can be used for sportswear, casual wear, baggage, etc.
4- Nylon Drawn Textured Yarn
Also known as Nylon DTY, this kind of yarn is manufactured from Partially Oriented Yarn through the texturization process, which involves the yarn being simultaneously drawn and twisted. The final outcome of the yarn makes it suitable to be used for warp knitting, circular knitting, dyeing yarn, the process of fancy yarn, etc.
5- Nylon Fully Drawn Yarn
Nylon fully drawn yarn is also named Nylon FDY, Nylon Flat yarn, or Nylon Filament yarn, and by the look of it, you can easily say it is an entire silk stretch. This kind of yarn offers benefits, including toughness, high strength, abrasion, stiffness, chemical resistance, etc. Depending on your end use, it can easily be available in semi-dull, full dull, or bright finishes.
Uses of Nylon Yarn (polyamide yarn)
So, where exactly can you use nylon yarn? Here are its major and most common applications:
