Besides its low melting point, Nylon Hot Melt Yarn has other impressive properties. It's a great example of a low cost, non-toxic material that can be substituted for glue and chemical adhesives in the manufacturing process. Moreover, it has the same effect as a solid glue when it's melted.
Besides, it also has a good resistance to hydrocarbon fuels and cleaning solutions. It also has the highest abrasion resistance of any fiber, ten times that of wool.
A good example of hot melt yarn's capabilities is its use in nonwovens. During the weaving process, it is mixed with other fibers to produce nonwovens. A good example of this is the use of a polyester yarn in the production of a shoe upper fabric.
Another example of this is its use in the production of thermo-bonded hems. It also has the ability to hold fabrics together in a woven process. It also has the ability to reduce the cost of downstream production.
Besides, it's good to know that Nylon is better than its Polyester cousin in the abrasion resistance category. It's also better in the transparency department. This is due to its polycondensation of diols and dicarboxylic acids. However, it's a bit more expensive than its Polyester counterpart.
In addition, it's not surprising that this fiber has the highest abrasion resistance of all the yarns available on the market. Moreover, it has the ability to withstand tens of thousands of flexes without breaking.
