Nylon A wide variety are currently on the market. The most common, nylon 6 and 6/6 can be an additive at up to 10% by weight because they impart stiffness to an otherwise soft compound. Textile nylon scrap is usually nylon 6 or 6/6. Nylon 6 castings are suitable. Nylons 11 and 12 are even more suitable, but generally not available.

Several synthetic upper materials such as canvas, textiles, nylon, PVC on woven or nonwoven base, and poromerics are used in shoe manufacturing. As for leather, most of these materials... 

Nylon A class of synthetic fibres and plastics, polyamides. Manufactured by condensation polymerization of ct, oj-aminomonocarboxylic acids or of aliphatic diamines with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. Also rormed specifically, e.g. from caprolactam. The different Nylons are identified by reference to the carbon numbers of the diacid and diamine (e.g. Nylon 66 is from hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid). Thermoplastic materials with high m.p., insolubility, toughness, impact resistance, low friction. Used in monofilaments, textiles, cables, insulation and in packing materials. U.S. production 1983 11 megatonnes.

Usage of phosphoms-based flame retardants for 1994 in the United States has been projected to be 150 million (168). The largest volume use maybe in plasticized vinyl. Other use areas for phosphoms flame retardants are flexible urethane foams, polyester resins and other thermoset resins, adhesives, textiles, polycarbonate—ABS blends, and some other thermoplastics. Development efforts are well advanced to find appHcations for phosphoms flame retardants, especially ammonium polyphosphate combinations, in polyolefins, and red phosphoms in nylons. Interest is strong in finding phosphoms-based alternatives to those halogen-containing systems which have encountered environmental opposition, especially in Europe. 

Delusterants reduce the transparency, iacrease the whiteness, and alter the fiber s reflectance of light. Ti02 is the delusterant of choice for aU melt-spun fiber types because of its high cover, whiteness, and chemical and thermal stabUity. Nylon is translucent and requires ia most textile and... 

The amide linkage characterizes nylons. In the first commercial nylon, nylon-6,6, R = (CH2 )g and R = (CH2 )4. Nylon-6,6 is familiar as a textile fiber (nylon stockings) and a molded plastic (see Polyamides). 

Sulfur dyes are used mainly for dyeing textile ceUulosic materials or blends of ceUulosic fibers (qv) with synthetic fibers such as acryUc fibers, polyamides (nylons), and polyesters. They are also used for sHk (qv) and paper (qv) in limited quantities for specific appHcations. Solubilized sulfur dyes are used on certain types of leathers (qv). 

Carpet. Carpet, an important textile, may also be treated to provide water and oU repeUency however, the principal functions of the current carpet treatments are to provide soU and stain resistance. High quaUty carpets, especiaUy those made from nylon, polyester, or wool, have a significant proportion of the surface coated with fluorochemical materials. The treatments can be spray-appUed to a finished carpet or appUed directly to the fiber during the spinning or dyeing operations. Suitable fluorinated resin materials are readily avaUable from 3M or DuPont.
