Description
Nylon 11 is composed of polymerized 11-amino-undecanoic acid. Nylon 11 was originally made from castor bean oil and marketed under the trademark of Rilsan®. Nylon 11 fibers have similar properties to nylon 6 and 6,6. Nylon 11, however is less dense, melts at a lower temperature and has better dimensional stability. It is often used for brush bristles, lingerie, bulked yarns, and injection molded plastics.
See also nylon fiber.
Synonyms and Related Terms

Other Properties
Resistant to alkalis and most organic solvents. Degraded by concentrated acids and phenol. Burns with yellow-orange flame and blue smoke; smells of burnt horn. Fiber is smooth. Cross section is circular. Tenacity = 5.0-7.5 g/denier (dry or wet); Elongation = 25% (dry or wet); Moisture regain = 1.18%
