Nylon fiber (polyamide) finds extensive applications in various industries. It is commonly used in clothing such as sportswear, lingerie and pantyhose as well as in home furnishings like carpets.
Nylon fiber plays a vital role in the production of industrial products such as nets, ropes and tire cords. Given that nylon fiber is typically fine in nature, achieving the desired jetness requires the use of high-quality carbon black with enhanced jetness properties and higher loading levels. For the fiber and textile industries, we offer a portfolio of specialty carbons that deliver exceptional color performance and physical cleanliness, enabling processors to maintain consistent, reliable production. Our products are suitable for use in a range of polymers, including polyester, nylon and poly-propylene.
Our BLACK PEARLS® 5160 carbon black exhibits excellent dispersion characteristics when incorporated into polyamide. This not only enables polyamide fiber that possesses enhanced jetness and a captivating blue tone but also facilitates a seamless spinning process, offering optimal spinning ability for the fiber.
Our BLACK PEARLS® 5560 carbon black enables simplified manufacturing of polyamide masterbatch. It allows for higher loading of the masterbatch, simplifying the production process. Furthermore, BLACK PEARLS 5560 carbon black can enhance the spinning ability of polyamide fiber, promoting a superior quality end-product as well as contributes to the fiber's impressive jetness, further enhancing its visual appeal.
