Nylon is a thermoplastic material that can be used for a wide range of applications in the construction industry. When heated it can be moulded into various shapes and films or drawn into fibers for fabrics. As a polymer, nylon is made up of a chain of repeating sections of atoms.

Nylon is used in sheets, rods, tubes, wear pads, screws, washers, bolts, fixtures, window frame spacers, safety nets, plumbing fittings, and so on.

The advantageous properties of nylon are its strength, durability and high pressure-bearing capacity. It is also corrosion resistant and has a low coefficient of friction meaning that it can be used in many applications that involve rotation or sliding with little or no lubrication – the phenomenon known as stick slip, when two objects slide over one another, can therefore be reduced.

Of particular benefit to construction applications, nylon has a higher lifting capacity due to having a reduced component weight. Nylon is also waterproof and fast-drying. However, it can dissolve when exposed to chemicals such as phenols, alkalis and acids.

One of the most important characteristics of nylon is that it is capable of being made into strong fibers which, when woven together, produce a silky and lightweight fabric. This can be used in carpeting, canopies, sheets, and so on.
