Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, which are linear polyamides, first produced on February 28, 1935 by Wallace Carothers at DuPont. Generally speaking, nylon is composed of very long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together, with oxygen and nitrogen atoms bonded periodically throughout the chain.

Does paraffin wax stick to nylon?

Paraffin wax does not adhere well to nylon due to the low surface energy of nylon, which makes it difficult for the wax to bond. While some wax may initially come into contact with the nylon surface, it is likely to peel or flake off easily. To achieve better adhesion, a primer or adhesive specifically designed for use with nylon may be necessary.
