What is the difference?
- 1Composition: Nylon is made from petroleum-based materials while rayon is made from cellulose fibers.
- 2Durability: Nylon is more durable and resistant to wear and tear than rayon.
- 3Texture: Rayon has a softer and smoother texture than nylon.
- 4Breathability: Rayon is more breathable and moisture-absorbent than nylon.
- 5Shrinkage: Rayon is more prone to shrinkage than nylon.
Remember this!
Nylon and rayon are both synthetic fabrics used in clothing and textiles. However, the difference between nylon and rayon is their composition, durability, texture, breathability, and shrinkage. Nylon is made from petroleum-based materials, making it more durable and resistant to wear and tear. On the other hand, rayon is made from cellulose fibers, giving it a softer and smoother texture but making it more prone to shrinkage.
