About products and suppliers

A nylon thread is a thin synthetic thread manufactured from plastics. Nylon sewing threads are durable, strong, waterproof, and available in attractive vibrant colors to earn them multiple uses both domestically and commercially. At home, nylon threads are for stitching, weaving, and sewing leather, canvas, and clothing articles together. Commercially, nylon threads are used to make seat belts, parachutes, and tents.

How strong are nylon threads?

High-quality nylon threads can withstand considerable force without breaking or expanding. For example, thin bonded nylon threads whose exterior has been coated with a protective layer can effortlessly hold up to 11 pounds. Furthermore, the bonding increases its resistance to abrasion, corrosion by mineral acids, and frying. The monofilament thread is also very strong and durable. It is made from a long filament rather than several micro thin twisted nylon threads, and its thickness varies depending on the number of threads.

Thin monofilament threads are less strong and thus used for sewing "invisible" stitches and free motion quilting. Thicker monofilament threads with a diameter of around a millimeter, on the other hand, can bear up to 100 pounds and are greatly used by fishermen.

Lastly, wooly nylon threads resist less tension force and can only bear a small weight. But its high elasticity, vibrant shine, and softness make it great for swimwear and bracelets.

Nylon cord for jewelry

The jewelry industry is growing tremendously and is expected to grow even further with the availability of affordable nylon cords for jewelry making. A piece of nylon thread is several times cheaper than cotton despite performing better. Wholesalers offer nylon threads for bracelets in thicknesses ranging from 0.5 to 2.0mm. Customers also get them in vibrant colors, which are beautiful when knotted together to form a bracelet.
