  4. Zytel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zytel

    The Zytel product range takes advantage of the fact that nylons are one of the most compatible polymers with modifiers and so offers grades with varying degrees of fiberglass, from 13% to 60% (to increase stiffness and strength), rubber toughened resins and flame retarded grades. Nylon resins with mineral reinforcements are branded 'Minlon'. [1]

  5. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_suture

    Synthetic materials include nylon, polypropylene and surgical steel all of which are monofilaments with great tensile strength. [2] Nylon (monofilaments, Dermalon, Ethilon) Description: polyamide; Advantages/disadvantages: Excellent tensile strength. However, poor handling and poor knot security due to high material memory.

  6. Polyamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamide

    Synthetic polyamides are commonly used in textiles, automotive industry, carpets, kitchen utensils and sportswear due to their high durability and strength. The transportation manufacturing industry is the major consumer, accounting for 35% of polyamide (PA) consumption. [2]

    English: Material comparison plot for Strength versus density. The guidelines for minimum weigth design are added. The strength for each group of materials is: Metal and polymers: Yield Strength; Ceramics: Compresive Strength; Elastomers: Tensile Tear Strength; and; Composites: Tensile Failure.

  8. Automotive textile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_textile

    Tear and tensile strength and seam strength; Flame resistance; Anti-static; Stretch and recovery; Soil and stain release. Textiles are also used in the interior of cars, the most obvious uses being for seat covers, safety belts and airbags. [7] Automotive textiles share similarities with home textiles but with stringent quality parameters.

  9. Nylon 11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_11

    Nylon 11 is seen to have increased dimensional stability in the presence of moisture due to its low concentration of amides. Nylon 11 experiences 0.2-0.5% length variation and 1.9% weight variation after 25 weeks of submersion in water in comparison to 2.2-2.7% elongation variation and 9.5% weight variation for Nylon 6. [2]
