What else can I help you with?
Is polymide the same thing as nylon?
Yes, polyamide is the generic name for a type of polymer that includes nylon as a specific type of polyamide. So while nylon is a type of polyamide, not all polyamides are nylon.
Is polyolefin and polyamide the same?
No, polyolefin and polyamide are not the same. Polyolefin is a type of polymer made from olefin monomers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, while polyamide is a type of polymer made from amide monomers, such as nylon. They have different chemical compositions and properties.
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.
Is polymide the same thing as nylon?
Yes, polyamide is the generic name for a type of polymer that includes nylon as a specific type of polyamide. So while nylon is a type of polyamide, not all polyamides are nylon.
What is polyamide yarn?
Polyamide is usually known as nylon.
Polyamide is also known commonly as?
Nylon.
Is polyolefin and polyamide the same?
No, polyolefin and polyamide are not the same. Polyolefin is a type of polymer made from olefin monomers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, while polyamide is a type of polymer made from amide monomers, such as nylon. They have different chemical compositions and properties.
What is the trade name for nylon?
Nylon IS the tradename. Nylon is the tradename created by Dupont for a generic fibre called Polyamide
Is PA6 same as Nylon 6?
Yes - see the text at this link for confirmation http://books.google.com/books?id=7Qq_vknrP4kC&pg=PA275&lpg=PA275&dq=is+PA6+the+same+as+nylon&source=bl&ots=0m6Li0BcPn&sig=7XkO7HbBZjE-hwOKe_ySnBXtTKY&hl=en&ei=WETaSeObL4_Itge-yLDhDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4
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.
What is the density polyamid?
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.
What is the resistivity of polyamide?
The resistivity of polyamide, commonly known as nylon, typically ranges from 10^12 to 10^14 ohm-cm. This means that polyamide is considered to be a good insulator due to its high resistivity.
