Nylon has high strength and wear resistance, and it is more comfortable to wear; spandex has low strength and high elasticity, and it will feel slippery when walking. The abrasion resistance of nylon is better than that of spandex, and the elastic properties of spandex are better than that of nylon. Nylon is mainly used for bias tires.
Nylon
1.Strong and wear-resistant, ranking first among all fibers. Its abrasion resistance is 10 times that of cotton fibers, 10 times that of dry viscose fibers, and 140 times that of wet fibers. Therefore, its durability is excellent.
2. Nylon fabric has excellent elasticity and elastic recovery, but it is easy to deform under small external force, so its fabric is easy to wrinkle during wearing. Poor ventilation and ventilation, easy to generate static electricity.
3. The hygroscopicity of nylon fabric is a better variety among synthetic fiber fabrics, so the clothing made of nylon is more comfortable to wear than polyester clothing. It has good moth resistance and corrosion resistance.
4. The heat and light resistance is not good enough, and the ironing temperature should be controlled below 140°C. In the process of wearing and using, you must pay attention to the conditions of washing and maintenance, so as not to damage the fabric.
5. Nylon fabric is a light fabric, which is only listed after polypropylene and acrylic fabrics in synthetic fiber fabrics. Therefore, it is suitable for making mountaineering clothes, winter clothes, etc.
Spandex (elastane)
Advantages: Best elasticity, good light resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance and wear resistance.
Disadvantages: The worst strength, poor moisture absorption, Uses: Spandex is widely used in underwear, women's underwear, casual wear, sportswear, socks, pantyhose, bandages, etc. field etc. Spandex is a high-elastic fiber necessary for high-performance clothing that pursues movement and convenience. Spandex can stretch 5-7 times compared to the original, so it is comfortable to wear, soft to the touch, and does not wrinkle, and can always maintain the original outline.
