Nylon in 1350: PA6 apparel
Read the condition on Nylon before the nickname. Year 1350, line “PA6 apparel,” figure 6. Skip a step and the properties chapter is describing a different object.
This atlas treats Nylon as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in. Conductivity note: low. Insulation score 30/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: combustible, melt-drip. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: DuPont 1935–38, United States. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: polyester. Circularity mark 32/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year. Related atlas entries, a short glossary, and three threads that keep Nylon honest.
The cheaper filament that took shirts. The protein filament nylon was sold to replace. Aromatic polyamide that does not melt the same way. EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire letter (A1–F), not a wall rating. Thermal conductivity in W/m·K. Lower means better bulk insulation. Declared performance after blowing-agent or moisture drift.
The label keeps Nylon, 1350, and 6. “PA6 apparel” is the condition on the figure.1350
