Polyamide fibre (nylon) is made from Caprolactam (in the case of PA6) or AH salt (in the case of PA66) and is produced by a melt spinning process. Global polyamide fibre production is split roughly 55% PA6 and 45% PA66. Around 90% of production is in nylon filament destined for stockings and tights, underwear, linings, sports clothing, carpets, technical textiles and tyre cord. Nylon staple production is shrinking and probably accounts for only around 10-11% of global capacity but is mainly used for textile floor coverings, hosiery and knitting yarns.
