Nylon is often found in a rather small proportion in mixtures with natural fibers, making use of its physical characteristics such as durability and abrasion resistance.

Major combinations of nylon-based mixtures and their major uses are shown in Table 8.

Table 8 Nylon-based mixtures and major uses

Dyeing and staining properties of dyes for nylon on other fibers are as shown in Table 9.

Examples of nylon-mixture dyeing are shown in 3-3a. -3b.
