Other Characteristics of Nylon:
Nylon was first developed in 1928 by DuPont scientist Wallace Carothers. It is considered to be the first engineering thermoplastic and is excellent for machining. It has a very low coefficient of friction and is abrasion resistant. It has strong resistance to oils, but is severely attacked by solvents and acids.

Nylon for Laboratories:
With excellent oil resistance properties, nylon could be a perfect material for your laboratory supplies. Nylon also has good heat resistance and is abrasion resistant.
Recycling:
Nylon does not have its own recycling code, but can be recycled into many other products such as carpeting. Check with your local government to see if facilities exist. For more information regarding Nylon recycling see the Plastic Container Recycling Page.
