Nylon-6 is the synthetic monofilament of excellence. It is well known for its toughness, evenness and is very easy to process.

The optimum dying properties enable this monofilament to be used not only in the textile industry but also in other fields, such as the production of color samples for hair dyeing and fashion fabrics.

The applications of this monofilament in the textile industry are almost limitless.

Nylon-6 can be used in contact with food (FDA approved)
Biological resistance – Excellent
Resistance to Alkali – Good
Resistance to Mineral Acids – Poor
Resistance to Organic Acids – Poor
Resistance to Oxidizing Agents – Fair
Resistance to Organic Solvents – Good
Resistance to UV – Poor

100% Nylon 6-6 Monofilament offers higher maximum operating and melting temperatures than the PA-6.

Keeping the same elongation, it is tougher and stiffer with a very good resiliency. It can he used in contact with food (FDA).
