Nylon is a common material in daily life. DuPont first developed it in 1935 and then it is widely applied to textiles and auto parts. It has many types based on chemical structural formulas, such as Nylon 6, Nylon 6,6, Nylon 4, Nylon 11, Nylon 12, Nylon 46, Nylon 610, etc., each with different physical properties. Its appearance was regarded as a breakthrough in the synthetic fiber industry.
Cordura is one type of nylon, Nylon 6,6. It is a high-performance fabric and a registered trademark Cordura®. Cordura was originally developed by DuPont in 1929 and is known for its strength and durability. And it has become synonymous with ruggedness and is widely used in products that require tough and durable materials. Now, Cordura® is owned by Invista.
Both materials have the characteristics of durability, strength, lightweight, variety, and versatility. In terms of application, Nylon is used for textiles, industry parts, home goods, sports equipment, and auto parts. Compared with Nylon, Cordura has more military colors and is mostly applied to military and outdoor equipment as well as motorcycle devices.
In backpack manufacturing, Nylon and Cordura are all important synthetic fiber materials. Which one to choose usually depends on the specific requirement and performance.
