Within the world of manufacturing parts and products, there are materials that have marked a before and after in modern industry, either because of their characteristics and properties, particular uses or simply because of their durability and ease of obtaining. A clear example of this would be alloys in the case of metallic materials or composite materials that involve ceramic bases.
In polymers we also find important materials. Regardless of whether they are organic or synthetic polymers, in the manufacture of parts they play a fundamental role thanks to their ease of obtaining, processing and machining mainly. A fairly popular group of polymers, which we have already talked about earlier in this blog, is the group of polyamides. In this group, nylon is important and striking.
In this post, you will learn a little more about Nylon. What type of material is it, what are its main characteristics and most common uses beyond the manufacture of textiles and fishing ropes. Let’s start by defining nylon as a material:
