Yes, nylon is a thermoplastic. The FTC defines nylon as "a synthetic long-chain thermoplastic polyamide fiber..."
Of course, Nylon is a thermoplastic and can be reground to pellet size and re-processed. Similar to any thermoplastic. The main issues with Nylon are the fact that there are so many nylon materials, Nylon 6, Nylon 66, Nylon 11, Nylon 6/12, Nylon 12 and so on. In the case of Polyethylene there are only a few options Low density, Medium density, High density as well as UHMW, and the applications are very limiting. Therefore the Nylon issue is more troubling. What we use for carpet and cloths is much more dynamic when it comes to Nylon. The real answer will come from a few questions: do you have enough of one single product to recycle and is it clothing or is the product of a more rigid standard like an automotive intake manifold. The last question is what color is the product and if there is more than one the only color they would be able to make from the multi colored materials is Black.
The dog has a nylon leash.
nylon is about as strong as a spider's silk
yes, indeed Nylon is. Nylon is a substance or substances of negative balance and can only ever be Organic because of the elements inside the Nylon it's self.
nylon is a tough light waterproof material.. =/
an example of a thermoplastic woul be a plastic kettle
No, nylon 66 is a thermoplastic polymer, which means it can be melted and reformed multiple times. Thermosetting polymers, on the other hand, undergo a chemical reaction during curing that permanently sets their shape.
polypropylene, urethane
Yes, nylon 6 can be ultrasonically welded due to its thermoplastic nature and compatibility with the ultrasonic welding process. The heat generated from the ultrasonic vibrations softens the nylon 6 material, allowing it to bond with another nylon 6 surface when pressure is applied.
Many pan handles are made of thermoplastic materials, such as nylon or polypropylene, because they are heat resistant and durable. These materials can withstand the high temperatures used in cooking without melting or deforming.
Cross link polyvinyl chloride RW90 (PVC) and THHN are two common types of insulation THHN wire stands for thermoplastic high heat resistant nylon coated wire. THWN stands for thermoplastic heat- and moisture resistant nylon coated wire.

Nylon rope shrinks primarily due to its thermoplastic nature. When exposed to heat or certain conditions, the nylon fibers can lose their initial shape and length, causing the rope to contract. Additionally, moisture absorption can lead to temporary swelling, followed by shrinkage as the rope dries. This combination of heat and moisture effects contributes to the overall shrinkage of nylon rope over time.
TWN stands for Thermoplastic Water Resistant Insulated Wire, Nylon Jacketed. This is a CSA standard wire and may not be recognized in the U.S.
is a general purpose 600 volts building wire that can be used as a power,lightning and control wiring. maximum operation temperature is 90 degrees celsius when dry and 75 degree celsius if wet operated.
The discovery of thermoplastic materials cannot be attributed to a single person, as it is a result of continuous advancements in polymer chemistry. However, some notable early contributors to the development of thermoplastics include Leo Hendrik Baekeland, who invented Bakelite in 1907, and Wallace Carothers, who synthesized nylon in the 1930s. Since then, thermoplastic materials have been further refined and expanded upon by numerous scientists and engineers.
