What is the difference between nylon fabric and non-woven fabric

Nylon cloth and non-woven cloth are both textile materials, their main differences are as follows:
1. Different composition materials

1. Nylon was developed by the outstanding American scientist Carothers and a scientific research team under his leadership. It is the first synthetic fiber in the world. Nylon cloth is composed of polyamide fiber (nylon).

2. Non-woven fabric (English name: Non Woven Fabric or Nonwoven cloth), also known as non-woven fabric, is composed of directional or random fibers. It is called cloth because of its appearance and certain properties. It is mainly made of polypropylene (pp material) pellets as raw materials.

2. Different performance characteristics

1. The most prominent advantage of nylon cloth is that its abrasion resistance is higher than all other fibers, 10 times higher than cotton abrasion resistance, and 20 times higher than wool. Adding some polyamide fibers to the blended fabric can greatly improve its resistance. Abrasion; when stretched to 3-6%, the elastic recovery rate can reach 100%; it can withstand tens of thousands of times of bending without breaking.

2. Non-woven fabric has the characteristics of moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, light weight, non-combustible, easy to decompose, non-toxic and non-irritating, rich in color, low price, and recyclable.

Three, different application areas

1. Nylon cloth can be blended or purely spun into various medical and knitted products. Nylon filaments are mostly used in the knitting and silk industries, such as woven single stockings, stretch stockings and other wear-resistant nylon socks, nylon gauze, mosquito nets, nylon laces, stretch nylon outerwear, various nylon silks or interwoven silk products. Nylon staple fibers are mostly used for blending with wool or other chemical fiber wool-type products to make various wear-resistant fabrics.

In industry, nylon is widely used to make cords, industrial fabrics, cables, conveyor belts, tents, fishing nets, etc. It is mainly used as parachute and other military fabrics in national defense.

2. Non-woven fabrics are suitable for agricultural films, shoemaking, leather making, mattresses, picture-behind quilts, decoration, chemical, printing, automobiles, building materials, furniture and other industries, as well as clothing interlinings, medical and health disposable surgical gowns, masks, Hats, sheets, hotel disposable tablecloths, beauty, sauna and even today's fashionable gift bags, boutique bags, shopping bags, advertising bags and so on.
