Polyamide, commonly known as Nylon, is an English name of Polyamide (PA), which is a thermoplastic resin with repeated amide groups [NHCO] on the molecular main chain. This includes aliphatic PA, aliphatic -- aromatic PA and aromatic PA. Among them, aliphatic PA varieties are numerous, with large yield and wide application. Its name is determined by the specific number of carbon atoms of the synthetic monomer.

Nylon, the main varieties are nylon 6 and nylon 66, dominant, followed by nylon 11, nylon 12, nylon 610, nylon 612, as well as nylon 1010, nylon 46, nylon, nylon 9, 13, nylon varieties with nylon 6, nylon 9 t and special nylon MXD6 resin (barrier property), and so on, the number of varieties of modified nylon is various, such as reinforced nylon, monomer casting nylon (MC nylon), reaction injection molding (RIM) nylon, aromatic nylon, transparent nylon, high impact (super tough nylon, nylon, electroplating, conductive nylon flame retardant nylon, Nylon and other polymer blends and alloys, meet different special requirements, widely used as metal, wood and other traditional materials substitutes, as a variety of structural materials.
