The suitable for apparel use, Nylon 6 or Nylon 66 Fabric
Nylon 6- Nylon 6 is made from a caprolactam monomer having six carbon atoms. Hence, the name Nylon 6.
Nylon 6,6 : Nylon 6,6 is comprised of two monomers, Hexamethylenediamine, and adipic acid, each providing six carbon atoms. Hence, the name Nylon 6,6.
Nylon 6 and nylon 66 are different types of nylon textiles that have different chemical structures and properties:
The fibres of nylon 66 are 33% more resistant to abrasion than nylon 6, withstanding up to 60,000 cycles compared to 40,000 in the case of nylon 6. With low creep, and more crystallinity, nylon 66 is slightly more rigid, allowing good stretch recovery and higher abrasion resistance.
