Differences Nylon Monofilament and Nylon Multifilament

Nylon monofilament yarn refers to a single nylon yarn with a diameter of less than 50 microns, usually made from nylon synthetic fiber raw materials through a drawing process. Monofilament yarn has excellent mechanical properties and durability, so it is widely used in many industries.

What are the general specifications of nylon monofilament?

Nylon semi-gloss, glossy, matte, triangular iron tube monofilament: 15D, 20D, 25D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 20D/7, 28D/6, 40D/7, 40D/3, 40D/6

Uses of nylon monofilament

Clothing: The softness, comfort and durability of nylon monofilament make it an ideal choice for making clothing. The fabric made of nylon monofilament is smooth, not easy to pilling, and not easy to deform. It is suitable for basic base shirts, sportswear, sun protection clothing, underwear, swimsuits and other clothing.

Home textiles: The fabric made of nylon monofilament has high surface gloss, good elasticity and is not easy to deform. It is suitable for making curtains, bedding, sofas, carpets and other household items.

Automobile: Nylon monofilament has high strength, wear resistance, anti-aging, UV resistance and other characteristics, suitable for manufacturing automotive interior, seat materials, industrial filters and other accessories.

Electronics: Nylon monofilament has good insulation performance, corrosion resistance, anti-static, suitable for manufacturing internal details of electronic products, touch screens and shells.

Characteristics of nylon monofilament

Excellent mechanical properties: Nylon monofilament has high tensile strength, good toughness, high fatigue strength, and can withstand large stress and pressure.

Wear resistance: Nylon monofilament has several times the wear resistance of other synthetic fibers, suitable for making products with high durability requirements.

Chemical corrosion resistance: Nylon monofilament has acid resistance, alkali resistance, organic solvent resistance, UV resistance and other characteristics, suitable for use in harsh environments.

Easy to dye: Nylon monofilament has a smooth surface, is not easy to pilling, is suitable for dyeing, and can be made into fabrics of various colors. In summary, nylon monofilament is a widely used polymer material. Its excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance make it suitable for manufacturing various filament products.

Differences between nylon monofilament and nylon multifilament

Nylon monofilament refers to nylon filament composed of only one monofilament. Nylon monofilament has high strength, good elasticity, poor heat resistance and sun resistance. The diameter of nylon monofilament is 0.1~2mm. The larger the diameter, the poorer the knitting performance. It can only be used as fishing line, strings, ropes, tennis racket materials, etc.; the smaller the diameter, the more it can be used to knit women's long socks, pantyhose, scarves, filters, screens, stage curtains, etc.; the moderate diameter can be used to separate yarns to knit piece-count clothing or separate rows in socks.

Nylon multifilament is a nylon filament composed of multiple monofilaments. According to the number of carbon atoms in the monomer, it is divided into nylon 6 type, nylon 66 type, etc. According to strength and elongation, it is divided into civil type and industrial type. The former has a breaking strength of 0.35~0.53N/tex (4~6gf/denier) and a breaking elongation of 24%~36%; the latter has a breaking strength of 0.62~0.79N/tex (7~9gf/denier) and a breaking elongation of 18%~24%. Nylon multifilament has the advantages of high strength, good elasticity, wear resistance and good chemical resistance, so it can be used for knitting underwear, bras, stretch tights, fitness pants, socks, gloves, fishing nets, ropes, conveyor belts, filter cloths, parachutes, etc. Because nylon multifilament has poor light resistance and light resistance, it is not suitable as a material used under eye exposure conditions.
