Characteristics of nylon and spandex fabrics

Nylon is the Chinese name of synthetic fiber nylon. The translated name is also called "nylon" and "nylon". The scientific name is polyamidefibre, that is, polyamide fiber. Strength, good wear resistance, ranking first among all fibers. Its abrasion resistance is 10 times that of cotton fibers, 10 times that of dry viscose fibers, and 140 times that of wet fibers. Therefore, its durability is excellent.

Nylon fabric has excellent elasticity and elastic recovery, but it is easy to deform under small external force, so its fabric is easy to wrinkle during wearing.

Spandex fabric features

Spandex fabric is a polyurethane fiber. Because of its excellent elasticity, it is also named elastic fiber, which is widely used in clothing fabrics. The elasticity of spandex is very high. Generally, 100% polyurethane is not used in general products, and the proportion of 5%~30% is mixed in the fabric. All kinds of spandex fabrics obtained have a comfortable elasticity of 15%~45%. Spandex fabrics are often made of composite yarns, that is, with spandex as the core and other fibers (such as nylon, polyester, etc.) as the cortex to make core-spun elastic fabrics, which have good adaptability to the body and are very suitable for tights. No pressure.
