Is nylon man made or natural?
Nylon is a polyamide, a kind of a synthetic polymer, so it is definitely artificial, man made.
Nylon is an example of what?
Nylon is a polyamide. There are two: nylon 6.6, which was invented by DuPont, and nylon 6, which was invented by BASF. DuPont had a patent on nylon 6.6 and wouldn't license it; BASF wanted to play in the polyamides market so they created a similar material using a different process. Of the two, nylon 6.6 has a higher melt point and is a little harder than nylon 6. Nylon 6.6 is a polymer of Hexamethylene diamine and Adipic acid (Hexadioic acid) both these compounds contain 6 carbon atoms each. so it is Nylon 6.6. (Which is true for nylon 6.6. Nylon 6 is polymerized caprolactam, so that's called Nylon 6 because caprolactam also has 6 carbon atoms.)
Is nylon cheap or expensive?
Nylon is not an expensive material.
What materials does nylon consist of?
Sorry But I Dont Know. hahah :P
Is nylon fiber hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
This depends on type of fiber.
What is polyamide yarn?
Polyamide is usually known as nylon.
Polyamide is also known commonly as?
Nylon.
What is the trade name for nylon?
Nylon IS the tradename. Nylon is the tradename created by Dupont for a generic fibre called Polyamide
What is the most common name for polyamide?
Natural proteins such as wool and silk and artificial such as nylon and aramids. Used in textiles, carpets and sportswear
Is nylon a thermoplastic?
Yes, nylon is a thermoplastic. The FTC defines nylon as "a synthetic long-chain thermoplastic polyamide fiber..."
What is the density of nylon?
It depends on which polyamide. Try rephrasing the question.
Is nylon man made or natural?
Nylon is a polyamide, a kind of a synthetic polymer, so it is definitely artificial, man made.
Does polyamide material stretch?
Yes
Are plastic and nylon minerals?
Yes...Nylon does meet the definition of a plastic.

What is the raw material of the dental floss?
Dental floss is commonly made out of one of two polymers (synthetic compounds), either nylon or Teflon. Nylon is defined as a fiber-forming substance of a long-chain synthetic polyamide. A polyamide is a compound characterized by more than one amide group; an amide is a chemical related to ammonia. Teflon is the trade name of the polymer polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE. Other raw materials are the coatings, which may be wax, flavors, and various proprietary ingredients which vary with the manufacturer.
How do you manufacture polyamide resin?
polyamide resinsare manufactued by reacting monobasic acid with monohydric amine .the reaction is exothermic.the water is removed by heating to get film forming material
