Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers known as polyamides Nylon is essentially an organic thermoplastic (a synthetic polymeric resin) originally developed by DuPont that is very durable, easy to machine and can handle very high temperatures. Polyimide is also highly insulative and does not contaminate its surroundings (does not outgas). It is the toughest and most durable synthetic filament available. Nylon bristles discourage bacterial growth and resist most acids. It is non-shedding, and is excellent for cleaning and scrubbing applications with its strong abrasion resistance properties. It does not scratch most surfaces. Nylon is a versatile synthetic fiber, manufactured mainly in the United States. Nylon has a high degree of durability, is resistant to most common chemicals and has excellent bend recovery. Three grades of nylon are available: Type 6, Type 6.6, and Type 6.12. The wear ability is similar between all three, however the higher the grade the less moisture it will absorb. Precision Brush Company stocks nylon filament in black or natural (clear or slightly white) in diameters ranging from .003" to .050". Crimped and/or level filaments are available.
