Nyloner

Nyloner is a type of general-purpose adhesive tape made from a dissolved form of nylon. The tape is produced through a process called "nylioner" or "nylon needle punching," in which a special machine with small needles creates a series of small holes in a sheet of nylon film. These holes enable the nylon to absorb atmospheric pressure and moisture, resulting in a sticky and flexible adhesive film.

The adhesive properties of nyloner are reportedly long-lasting and resistant to water and most chemicals. The tape is often used as a versatile fastening solution in various applications, including crafts, DIY projects, and industrial repair work. Some of the key uses of nyloner include bonding different materials such as paper, fabric, and plastic, as well as creating sealing and holding functions.

Manufacturers claim that nyloner is highly durable and can hold steady in exposed environments or under temperature fluctuations, making it a preferred option for ships, construction vehicles, and medical equipment bonding. People also tend to like the nyloner product due to its value for money. The drawback of nyloner is that it may not be as readily available as set adhesive tape in all regions.

Research is ongoing into the possible composites of nyloner, and along with newly recognized applications in 3D printing.
