Visit some of the fiber and fabric websites, then select and complete one or more of these projects.

Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, based on aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides.Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material that can be melt-processed into fibers, films or shapes.: 2 Nylon was the first commercially successful synthetic thermoplastic polymer. DuPont began its research project in 1930. The first example of nylon …

what is microfiber? Microfiber consists of very fine threads of polyester and polyamide (nylon) that combine to form a single thread. Microfibers are so thin (100 times thinner than a single strand of human hair) that when they are woven together they create a surface area 40 times more than that of a regular fiber – creating an expanded surface …

Semi-synthetic fibers. Semi-synthetic fibers are made from raw materials with naturally long-chain polymer structure and are only modified and partially degraded by chemical processes, in contrast to completely synthetic fibers such as nylon (polyamide) or dacron (polyester), which the chemist synthesizes from low-molecular weight …

Swicofil is the trusted name in the textile industry for nylon (polyamide) fibers for carpet yarn spinning.

Wool fibers are made of hair, principally from sheep. Each hair is a complex structure made up of layers of protein molecules. Cloth made from wool has excellent insulating properties and resists wrinkling.

NILIT is a recognized manufacturer of polyamide (nylon) 6.6 yarns for apparel applications. Out extensive product line of super-fine and mid-denier yarns all share a common factor: high quality.

Polyamide fabric, also known as nylon fabric, is a form of plastic.Polyamide fabric, like polyester fabric, is a polymer. It is manufactured through a chemical process. In short, high amounts of heat and pressure are applied to fossil fuels to yield sheets of polyamide and nylon.

We’ve developed a number of our own machines for uniquely converting a wide variety of fibers. Our long history of textile machining gives us an advantage in fiber processing and the ability to generate new methods of converting specialty fibers.
