How To Tell If Plastic Is Nylon
How To Tell If Plastic Is Nylon?Here are some ways to tell if a plastic is Nylon Sheets:
Look: Nylon plastics usually have a glossy, smooth surface.
Touch: It may be tough and flexible to the touch.
Combustion test: ignite a small portion of the material, nylon will have a specific smell when burning, and the color and shape of the flame is also characterized.
Density: Nylon has a relatively high density, which can be initially determined by measuring the density.
Chemical properties: Nylon has a certain resistance to some chemicals.
Tensile test: It has good tensile strength and toughness.
Professional testing: It can be accurately identified by spectral analysis and other professional methods.
Judgement by experience: Experienced people can identify it through long-term contact and understanding.
Check the marking: If there is relevant marking or description, it can be directly confirmed.
Comparison of physical properties: Compare physical properties with known nylon materials.
It should be noted that these methods are not 100% sure whether the plastic is nylon or not, for some complicated cases, it may need to use professional testing equipment and technology.
