Polyamide fibre (Nylon) is versatile and can be used in a variety of end uses where strength and elasticity are required.
It has good dye affinity and abrasion performance, which makes it a perfect candidate for mechanically stressed uses.
Polyamide webbing can be found on: military products, climbing slings, personal protective equipment, etc…
