Nylon Category
Nylon is a synthetic polymer known for its exceptional strength, elasticity, and resistance to abrasion. Invented in the 1930s by Wallace Carothers at DuPont, nylon revolutionized the textile industry by providing a strong and versatile alternative to natural fibers like silk. Common applications include clothing, carpets, ropes, and industrial components where durability and resilience are essential. Its chemical structure, a polyamide, contributes to its high melting point and resistance to chemicals and wear.
