Anti-rockers are usually made of Nylon, or a substantially harder urethane than normal wheels, which means if a skater were to catch either of their center wheels on the grinding surface, they are less likely to be slowed or halted by friction between the wheel and rail or ledge.

Nylon 6 was developed to thwart the patent on nylon 6, 6, and while it does have a slightly different structure, its mechanical properties are remarkably similar to its condensation counterpart.

Nylon cat leashes and harnesses are however more elastic and thus more comfortable and also provide more control.

Nylon string guitars are almost always played fingerstyle.

Nylon lycra leggings are often referred to as bicycle or running tights, and are shinier in appearance than those made from cotton.

" However, for cordage and other non-metallic appliances, the tools used are generally limited to sharp edges or blades such as a sheepsfoot blade, occasionally a fine needle for proper whipping of laid rope, a hot cutter for Nylon and other synthetic fibers, and ( for larger ropes ) a shoe for smoothing out large knots by rolling them on the ground.

Nylon cams are then mounted behind this mechanism and spring-loaded electrical contacts slide around these cams.

Perhaps the most accessible examples of this are composites with an organic matrix and ceramic aggregate, such as asphalt concrete (" tarmac ") and filled plastic ( i. e., Nylon mixed with powdered glass ), although most metal matrix composites also benefit from this effect.

For example, there are Shubb Capos for Steel String Guitar which fits most acoustic and electric guitars ; the Shubb Capos for Nylon Sting Guitar are designed for guitar with wide flat fretboard, etc.

Strong cleansers, including bleach and detergent should not be used with life-critical Nylon components.

Nylon rope is widely used for hauling drogues since it best absorbs the shock loading by stretching.

Caprolactam is the precursor to Nylon 6, a widely used synthetic polymer.

Adiponitrile is a precursor to hexamethylenediamine ( H < sub > 2 </ sub > N –( CH < sub > 2 </ sub >)< sub > 6 </ sub >– NH < sub > 2 </ sub >), which is used for the production of certain kinds of Nylon.

Caprolactam molecule used to synthesize Nylon 6 by ring opening polymerization

Nylon 6 is used as thread in bristles for toothbrushes, surgical sutures, and strings for acoustic and classical musical instruments, including guitars, sitars, violins, violas, and cellos.

It can also be used in gun frames, such as those used by Glock, which are made with a composite of Nylon 6 and other polymers.

Nylon strap has the greatest specific strength of the three plastics, however it is rarely used due to its high price.

Enclosures are made of insulating materials like Bakelite, Nylon 6, and thermosetting plastics to protect and insulate the contacts and to provide some measure of protection against personnel touching the contacts.

Nylon strings also have a much lower tension than steel strings, as do the predecessors to nylon strings, gut strings ( made from ox or sheep gut ).

Representative ketones, from the left: acetone, a common solvent ; Oxaloacetic acid | oxaloacetate, an intermediate in the Krebs Cycle | metabolism of sugars ; acetylacetone in its ( mono ) enol form ( the enol highlighted in blue ); cyclohexanone, precursor to Nylon ; muscone, an animal scent ; and tetracycline, an antibiotic.

Nylon offers greater tuning stability, but is seen as anachronistic by purists, as its timbre differs from the sound of earlier gut strings.

Nylon, the first fiber synthesized entirely from petrochemicals, was introduced as a sewing thread by DuPont in 1936, followed by DuPont's acrylic in 1944.

The ends of some man-made fibers such as Dacron, Nylon, polyethylene, polyester, or polypropylene may be melted to fuse the fibers together and prevent their ends from fraying.

Synthetic materials such as Nylon and Dacron were followed by advanced sail cloths made from exotic material yarns such as Aramid ( e. g. Twaron, Technora or kevlar ), carbon fibre, HMPE ( e. g. Spectra / Dyneema ), Zylon ( PBO ) and Vectran ( see also Sailcloth ).

* Surprises, a song by Billy Joel from the 1982 album Nylon Curtain
