Nylon: Newly Used For Military Applications

1875 Words8 Pages

2. Nylon Nylon is an extremely versatile fibre, which is mostly used for military applications, but also for other designated uses, such as dog leashes, climbing equipment, or lifebelts. An important feature of nylon is its high degree of elasticity. Its tensile strength of 20% even increases when it is getting wet. Moreover, the fibre has a low moisture absorption and dries quickly. Additionally, Nylon has an excellent abrasion resistance and a low wear. Besides those brilliant properties, Nylon is able to withstand high temperatures with its melting point of 250°C. Even if Nylon is exposed to temperatures around 150°C, it only changes its colour. Not only this makes Nylon such an extremely versatile fibre but it also has a high resistance against lower temperatures as well. More precisely, it maintains its strength and flexibility up to -80°C. 3. Technical Yarns Customers who are in need of webbing with outstanding properties in terms of high strength, low modulus, and flame retardant, Bowmer Bond is able to produce webbing from Technora®, Nomex®, Kevlar®, or Dyneema®. Those technical yarns are superb for special performance applications. 4. Polyester With its multifunctional attributes, Polyester has a wide range of application areas which also include automotive webbing and binding or medical webbing. The fibre is extraordinary tear-proof (up to 10% at break) and abrasion resistant. Its breaking point is reached by 25%. One weakness of Polyester is its absorption
