Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)


Nylon is a synthetic polymer belonging to the group of polyamides. This excellent plastic came into the world in 1938, when it succeeded in replacing more expensive materials such as silk or rubber. The main advantage of nylon is its durability, flexibility, high strength and resistance to most chemicals, microbes and insects. Nylon is available in a number of different varieties, including Nylon-4, Nylon-6, Nylon-11, Nylon-12, Nylon-66 and Nylon-611. Each of these variants has slightly different properties, which makes them suitable for use in different industries.

Nylon is used in a plethora of products. Classic examples are clothing items such as hosiery, swimwear, sportswear or parachute cords. It is also suitable for the manufacture of toothbrushes, guitar strings, various parts of cars and aircraft, tyres, cables and many more. Due to its high durability, Nylon-66 is used in the automotive industry for the production of various components such as wheels, engine covers and even airbags. Nylon-12 is in turn used in the cosmetics industry for the production of make-up brushes or intricately shaped parts in the automotive industry. With nylon, every industry has its own thing. Its versatility, low cost and high durability make it one of the most widely used materials today.
