Question

Give the important uses of nylon.

Answer 1

Important uses of nylon:

1. Garments such as saris are made from nylon. Since it is wear resistant, garments made from it last for long time.
2. Being very strong, nylon fibre is used to make ropes (including ropes used during rock-climbing), tents, fishing nets and parachutes.
3. It has good elasticity and is, therefore, useful for making socks and stockings.
4. Nylon is also used to make toothbrushes, combs, zip fasteners and machine parts.
