Description

Nylon 4 is made from polypyrrolidine and sold as the fiber "Alrac". Nylon 4 has more frequent amide groups than other nylons. It produces a fiber that has many of the characteristics of cotton. Nylon 4 can absorb moisture and it accepts dyes well. It does not collect static charge and has good pressability.

See Nylon fiber.
