Getting to know the types of nylon and their differences

The first man-made synthetic fiber is nylon. This fiber was first introduced in the 1930s as an early substitute for silk. Nylon is actually a polymer whose raw material is light polyethylene or LDPE. Nylon has special and unique features that make it have many applications. The following are the features of nylon: It is soft, flexible and elastic. In terms of appearance, it has good transparency and brightness. It is very light weight. It is washable. It is relatively resistant to heat, ultraviolet rays and chemicals. It is very resistant to chemicals and oils.

Wide nylons, as their name suggests, are nylons that are produced in large widths and large dimensions. This type of nylon is also known as agricultural nylon and greenhouse nylon. This product has been widely used in agriculture, industry and construction. Wide nylon can be used in the agricultural sector to grow mulch, to cover the place where mushrooms are grown, and also to cover the roof of greenhouses. In the construction sector, it can be used for insulation or building foundation. Other applications of this type of nylon include insulating the pool floor and protecting the load of heavy vehicles against rain and snow. Wide nylons are produced in two types of UV and non-UV in the form of rolls. These rolls are produced in single-layer to five-layer varieties and include various thicknesses depending on the application.

Bubble nylons are nylons that have air-filled bubbles or cushions on their surface. These bubbles act as insulators and shock absorbers and are very safe and good protection for sensitive and fragile goods. Using bubble wrap for packing items is an economical and ideal way to protect items during shipping. This product is available in rolls, sheets, envelopes, and 3D in different sizes for placing different items.

Elasticity is the unique feature of stretch nylons, which distinguishes them from other types of nylons. This product is available to consumers with two domestic and industrial uses, which is known as food stretch in home use and pallet band stretch in industrial use. Food stretch: This type of plastic packaging can be found in every home, its use is to create a cover for fresh food that must stay fresh for a relatively short period of time until it is consumed. In fact, this nylon protects food from external factors and air, which are the main causes of food spoilage. The packaging of the products is in the final stage in order to deliver it safely to the customer. Packing the products with stretch nylon makes the goods to be placed next to each other so that the shock and vibration caused by the transportation does not harm them. This film is used in various industries for packaging pallets, as well as packaging furniture, pipes, profiles, etc.

Shrinkage due to heat is the most obvious feature of nylon shearing. This nylon is used for packing all kinds of products. This type of nylon is sensitive to heat and temperature rise and it changes its state against a temperature between 160 and 220 degrees and so-called shrinks. Nylon shearing is very widely used in the field of packaging and can be used to vacuum the product in question. Considering the flexibility, durability, beauty and other valuable benefits of these shrinkable films, many companies use this option to package their products.

Nylon with adhesive backing is produced to protect the surface of sensitive goods against scratches and impacts. This sticky nylon is simply installed on the product and is very easy to remove. This product is very suitable for products made of plastic, metal and wood, and it prevents surface scratches to deep and semi-deep sizes. You must have seen the use of this example of nylon on the surface of mobile phones, televisions and other electronic devices. In cabinet making to protect the body and door of the cabinets and also in car making to protect different parts of the car such as the bumper, nylon adhesive back is used a lot.

Another use of nylons is to use them as wrappers for packaging various products. Nylon wrappers are widely used in the packaging of food products such as milk bags and buttermilk bags, as well as the packaging of cosmetic products such as diapers, wet wipes, paper towels, etc.
