4 Reasons Why You Should Choose Nylon Buttons

Nylon is the commercial name for a type of polyamide thermoplastic. It was first developed by DuPont engineers in the mid-1930s and has been used in almost every industry. Polyamide nylon has a wide range of uses including rope, gears and even stockings, clothing buttons. It is usually formed into fibres for use in microfilaments and yarns but can also be cast.

Polyamide nylon has various advantages that make it an ideal candidate for a large range of applications.

High Abrasion Resistance: Higher levels of resistance to wear by mechanical action

Good Thermal Resistance: Special grades of nylon can have a melting point of almost 300°C

Good Fatigue Resistance: This makes it ideal for components in constant cyclic motion like gears

High Machineability: Cast billets can be machined into various components that would be too costly to cast into intricate shapes.

Noise Dampening: Nylon is a very effective noise dampener.

Even if you don't set out to purchase items made of nylon, the material is likely in abundance throughout your home. You'll likely find it in much of your clothing, from socks and underwear to jackets and dresses. Nylon blends well with other fabrics and is often used together with other synthetics or with natural materials to create durable, easy-care clothing. Nylon also has uses beyond fashion. Your toothbrush likely has nylon bristles. If you have a dog, their leash is most likely made from nylon. It's also the primary material used to make certain kitchen utensils, guitar picks, dental floss, toys, and fishing line. Next we will mainly introduce nylon buttons and the reasons why you should choose them.

Mechanical Strength

Because of its high mechanical strength and toughness, high quality nylon buttons are usually made into buttons with handles without worrying about breaking.

Dyeability

Among synthetic resin buttons, common nylon buttons have excellent dyeability and can be dyed with commonly used disperse dyes and certain nylon special dyes. In addition, after dyeing at high temperature, their size does not change, and post-processing such as fixing is not required. Therefore, the original nylon buttons are usually white, and then they can be dyed in different colors as needed. By the way, nylon buttons, due to their excellent dimensional stability, can provide a stable fit when used as a component of a combination button.

Chemical Resistance

Nylon is an engineering plastic, which not only has good mechanical properties, but also has excellent chemical resistance. Therefore, custom nylon buttons can withstand the erosion of most organic solvents. In addition, nylon buttons can be dry-cleaned and washed with clothes because of their wear resistance.

Pearl Luster

After mixing pearl powder and nylon material and injection molding, the nylon button will obtain a charming pearl luster, adding a fashionable atmosphere to the clothing.
