Spunbond nonwovens made of polyamide 6.6 (nylon).

For years we’ve been the European distribution partner of CEREX Advanced Fabrics Inc. in Pensacola (Florida). This company produces a particularly strong, flat, smooth and clear spunbond nonwoven from endless nylon threads for a wide range of applications: filter technology, automotive construction, medicine, etc.

Benefits of polyamide 6.6 (nylon)

Strength

Nylon nonwovens have a high tensile tear strength and achieve maximum strength values even at low surface weights.

Chemical resistance

Nylon nonwovens are resistant to most solvents, alkalis and diluted acids.

Heat resistance

Nylon nonwovens have a melting point of approximately 260°C (500°F) and are dimensionally stable up to approximately 200°C (400°F). They can be processed at temperatures up to 220°C (425°F) for short periods.

Air permeability

The wide range of surface weights allows a fine-tuned selection of different air permeabilities.

Homogeneity

The uniform fibre distribution makes nylon nonwovens exceptionally homogeneous technical textiles.

Colour

Nylon can be dyed and printed using all common processes.
