What is Nylon Filament?
Nylon filament is a continuous, almost infinitely long fiber made from nylon (polyamide). Unlike staple fibers, filament fibers are continuously drawn and wound during production, resulting in extremely long individual strands. Ningbo Keying New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully developed nylon industrial yarn PA6, PA66, PA610, PA612, PBT series industrial filament and abrasive filament production lines, including PA6 abrasive filament, PA612 and other types of brush filament, with an annual output of more than 1,000 tons.
Key Features of Nylon Filament
Nylon filament is extremely strong and can withstand high tension, tearing, and abrasion, making it highly durable.
It has excellent elastic recovery and is not easily deformed.
It is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents.
Compared to natural fibers of comparable strength, nylon filament is lighter.
It can be easily dyed in a variety of colors and easily blended or processed with other fibers.
Nylon Filament Applications in Cleaning Products
1. Toothbrushes
Nylon filament is widely used in toothbrush bristles. Nylon bristles are more abrasion-resistant and less prone to breakage than natural hair, resulting in a longer lifespan.
Nylon does not absorb water, is less likely to harbor bacteria, and is easier to clean and keep dry than natural hair.
The bristles can be adjusted in softness or hardness, effectively cleaning teeth without damaging gums.
2. Toilet Brushes
Nylon filament is commonly used in toilet brush bristles due to its abrasion resistance and durability. Nylon fiber's flexibility and abrasion resistance make it suitable for cleaning hard-to-reach corners and hard surfaces without scratching equipment.
3. Bath Brush Filaments
Nylon brush filaments have a soft touch and gently cleanse the skin without causing excessive friction or damage. They are highly resistant to abrasion and maintain their original shape and performance even after prolonged use and repeated scrubbing, without easily deforming, breaking, or shedding. Nylon brush filaments are extremely easy to maintain. After bathing, simply rinse the brush and place it in a well-ventilated, dry place for rapid recovery. They are also less susceptible to bacterial and mold growth.
4. Cleaning Filaments
Nylon filament is widely used in various cleaning tools, such as upright nylon fiber brushes, which are specifically designed for scrubbing and cleaning hard surfaces. They are suitable for cleaning small floors and dusting edges.
5. Industrial Cleaning Tools
In many industrial applications, such as food processing or medical equipment cleaning, hygiene is paramount. Nylon filaments' non-absorbent properties make them less susceptible to bacterial growth and easy to clean and dry. This helps prevent cross-contamination and meets strict hygiene standards. Nylon filaments withstand high levels of friction and abrasion, resisting breakage or bending, reducing replacement frequency and costs. The high elasticity of nylon filaments allows the bristles to quickly return to their original shape after being bent under pressure. This ensures the brush can consistently and effectively clean deep into grooves, crevices, and irregular surfaces, improving cleaning efficiency.
6. Household Cleaning Tools
Bristles made of nylon filaments exhibit excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance. They bend repeatedly during household cleaning but quickly return to their original shape, unlike natural hair that can become limp or deformed, ensuring long-term, effective cleaning performance. Nylon bristles withstand repeated friction and resist breaking or falling apart, significantly extending the life of the brush and eliminating the need for frequent replacement. Their high elasticity allows the bristles to easily reach corners, crevices, and irregular surfaces of containers (such as cups and bottles) for a thorough clean.
The plastic bristles produced by Ningbo Keying New Material Technology Co., Ltd. can be used in polishing abrasives, daily household cleaning, personal care (toothbrushes), medical health, agriculture and food, electronic products and other cleaning fields.
Keying has a professional R&D, production, and sales team and aims to be the global brush filament custom service provider. The company always takes customers as the center, the market guide, emphasizes service and communication and provides more services for customers.
