In the textile industry, twisted yarn has become an important material widely used due to its excellent strength and durability. As the two main products in the market, polyester twisted yarn and nylon twisted yarn have their own characteristics.
Advantages of twisted polyester yarn
Polyester is a fiber made of synthetic polymers with excellent performance. After twisting, polyester yarn performs well in many aspects:
High strength and wear resistance
Polyester fiber has high breaking strength and excellent wear resistance, especially suitable for scenes that need to withstand stretching and friction, such as outdoor products, industrial sewing thread and protective equipment.
Technical data: The strength of polyester yarn is usually between 4.0-5.5cN/dtex, and the wear resistance is more than 30% higher than that of cotton fiber.
Light resistance and UV resistance
Polyester fiber has strong resistance to ultraviolet rays due to the stability of its molecular structure, and can be used outdoors for a long time without fading or aging.
Application: parasol fabrics, outdoor ropes, advertising fabrics, etc.
Chemical resistance and dimensional stability
Polyester yarns are highly resistant to weak acids, alkalis and most organic solvents, and are not easily deformed by the environment.
Particularly suitable for industrial filter cloths and textile materials for special purposes.
Economical
The price of polyester yarns is more advantageous than that of nylon yarns, making it an ideal choice for cost-sensitive projects.
Advantages of nylon twisted yarns
Nylon (Polyamide) fibers are known for their excellent elasticity and toughness, and twisting further enhances their unique properties:
Excellent elasticity and flexibility
Nylon yarns have super elastic elongation (up to 20%-40%), and twisting further enhances their fatigue resistance, making them suitable for scenes that need to withstand repeated expansion and contraction and twisting.
Technical data: Nylon 6 yarns have a lower initial modulus, but their elongation at break is about 10% higher than that of polyester yarns.
Excellent moisture absorption and breathability
Nylon yarn has higher moisture absorption than polyester (moisture regain is about 4.5%-5.0%), making it more comfortable to wear in underwear and sportswear.
Application areas: yoga wear, sports bras, socks, etc.
Extremely high wear and impact resistance
Although polyester is also wear-resistant, nylon yarn has better wear resistance, especially suitable for areas that require high mechanical strength, such as high-end outdoor equipment, industrial ropes and fishing nets.
Low temperature resistance
Nylon fiber can still maintain high strength and toughness in low temperature environments, which is very suitable for outdoor equipment in cold climates.
How to choose the right product?
Choosing polyester or nylon twisted yarn should be determined according to specific application requirements and environmental conditions:
Focus on strength and light resistance: Choose polyester twisted yarn.
Pursue elasticity and comfort: Choose nylon twisted yarn.
A balanced solution with comprehensive performance is required: According to budget and performance requirements, the characteristics of the two yarns should be reasonably evaluated.
