How the twist of nylon yarn affects its strength and durability

As a commonly used synthetic fiber, nylon yarn has excellent strength and durability in textile manufacturing. Twist, as an indicator of the direction and degree of fiber rotation in a yarn or yarn structure, directly affects the performance of nylon yarn.

Twist has an important influence on the strength of nylon yarn. The greater the twist, the tighter the fibers in the yarn are entangled, increasing the tensile strength of the yarn. This is because twist can effectively improve the cohesion of the yarn and strengthen the bonding between the fibers. Therefore, when manufacturing textiles that require high strength, it is a wise choice to choose nylon yarn with a larger twist.

In addition, twist also affects the durability of nylon yarn. Nylon yarns with a larger twist usually have better wear resistance and tensile resistance, can effectively resist external forces, and extend the service life of textiles. Especially when making products such as ropes and meshes that are often subject to friction or stretching, choosing nylon yarns with a larger twist can ensure the durability and stability of the product.

In addition, twist also affects the softness and feel of nylon yarn. Nylon yarns with a larger twist are usually tighter and stiffer, suitable for manufacturing hard-textured textiles. Nylon yarn with a smaller twist is softer and fluffier, and is suitable for making soft and comfortable textiles. When choosing nylon yarn, the twist should be reasonably selected according to the needs of the product to ensure the best performance of the product.
