Both are common materials used in our daily lives. For nylon, many uses include fabric, book packs, toothbrushes, carpets, clothing such as the known “nylons,” in women’s hosiery, and many more. You can find Polyethylene in toys, home appliances, plastic bottles, caps, etc. But have you wondered which material is stronger?
If we are talking about strength, when comparing nylon and polyethylene, Nylon is stronger. Nylon has a tensile strength of 12,400 psi (pounds per square inch). Polyethylene, however, even in its three most common types – low, high, and ultra-high molecular density – ranges from 1,800 to 3,100 psi.
Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic that is durable and with a variable crystalline structure. It is one of the most commonly produced plastics in the world. Every year, it has a production of millions of tons worldwide -. PE is also one of the most used plastics. Its uses include different applications from laminates, plastic parts, tubes, films, and much more. Other industries include electrical, automotive, packaging, etc.).
From the result of the polymerization of ethylene (or ethene) monomers, we obtain PE.
Nylon (or Polyamides) is the major engineering and high-performance thermoplastics class because of its good balance of properties. It is formed by condensing monomers and copolymers for different units. Polyamides contain repeating amide linkages.
PE properties can be classified into:
The melting point is usually between 248 and 266 °F, for common commercial grades of medium and high-density PE.
They tend to crystallize, mainly due to their symmetric molecular structure, so PE is moderately crystalline overall. Increased density and chemical and mechanical stability are due to higher crystallinity.
Under constant force, it shows strong creep. Adding short fibers can reduce creep. It also has a waxy feeling when touched.
Crystallites reduce transparency when they are larger than the visible light wavelength.
Nylon properties include these main characteristics:
Regarding plastics’ mechanical properties, for materials used in structural applications, one of the most important and widely measured properties is resisting breaking under tensile stress.
Tensile strength is also known as ultimate tensile strength. It refers to the amount of stress a plastic can resist without breaking when it is pulled or stretched, especially for materials that will have to be under tension or stretched for some reason.
Nylon has a tensile strength equal to 12,400 psi. It is used in many different ways, such as rope, to reinforce rubber material (like car tires) or clothing, and even to substitute low-strength metals.
In addition to its high strength and excellent tensile properties, nylon has a relatively high melting point (450ºF) and exhibits excellent abrasion resistance. It has high chemical resistance and is not damaged by oils, solvents, or alcohol.
Between PE and nylon, the main difference is that PE is a polymer. At the same time, nylon is part of the family of synthetic polymers. Originally, nylon was developed as textile fibers.
On the other hand, it has a higher water absorption level than other materials. Its resistance weakens in environments with chlorine. From the three fibers compared, it is the most resistant to sunlight and climatic changes; it is heavier than water, so it sinks. Its appearance is textile, and it is ideal for exteriors.
On the contrary, its tensile strength is medium, and it was not designed for load-bearing applications. It is plastic in appearance, and of the three fibers compared, it is the most difficult to handle; it weighs very little (it floats). It is very resistant to abrasion, but its resistance to the sun is average.
Nylon is considered a high tensile strength plastic. It also has high insulation and great resistance to corrosion. So, if your next project requires material strength, nylon is your best option.

PE is a fine electrical insulator. It provides good electrical treeing resistance. However, it becomes easily charged with electricity and static (adding antistatic agents, carbon black, or graphite reduces it).
It is a synthetic fiber widely used when maximum strength with minimum diameter is required.
It is a synthetic fiber with a plastic feel.

Closely following behind is almost every other country. As you can see, stockings are worn all around the globe, and their appeal is timeless. So, never worry about ordering from Mayfair, even if you are the other side of the world. The British Royal Mail visits us every afternoon, collects your pretty parcel, and promptly delivers it to your door.

We have been selling stockings for a long time, and in all those years, we have sent our little hand wrapped purple parcels of glamorous and feminine hosiery to virtually every country in the world.
So, we thought it might be interesting to take a little look at the countries that most frequently buy stockings . The results were incredibly close, and the top ten countries all had similar numbers of customers buying stockings - there was literally very little difference in the scores.
The results are shown below, but the first thing that you will see is that it is never too hot for stockings! Australia and Singapore both feature in the top ten. However, as one customer pointed out (thanks Nicole), it is also never too cold or windy for stockings, with Nordic countries and Canada featuring high in the charts. I guess if you like your stockings, the weather is not going to stop you!
Not surprisingly, as we are based in the UK, that clinched the top spot, with the USA following very very close behind. A huge following in Canada and Australia mean we also ship to them both every day. Then it is back to Europe - as we primarily provide luxury European stockings, it makes sense for them to be worn by European ladies. Lastly, we head to the other side of the world, for Singapore.
If your country wasn't in the top ten, perhaps you would like a sneaky look at the remainder of the top twenty countries that buy stockings - here they are:
Very interesting informations and analysis.
It reveals what I feeled in my diferents trop over countries.
UK is still the top european country for stocking, even if In France many women are stocking wearers.
I have to say that during my several trips in Italy , I’ve never seen any woman in stockings or seamed , maybe I was not lucky !
Not surprised the UK is top stockings wearing nation – sure it’s been that way for some decades. Back in the 80s, for her thirtieth birthday I got my wife stockings and suspender belt and convinced her to abandon her tights for stockings at a friend’s party. The stockings were black, seamed with pointed heel and, combined with high heels and lbd, she looked absolutely stunning. She became a man magnet at the party and thoroughly enjoyed all the attention from countless good looking fellas, all excited by her seams! She dumped tights and, as she ran a beauty salon, she quickly switched to seamed stockings for day wear too.
Hi Eduardo, thank you for the comment. I took a look for you, and found that Latin America countries appears in the ranking at about number 40. That still means you are in the top 20% of all countries we provide stockings too! That should be a cause for celebration! Thank you for your previous orders. Lucy
Hi Violetbluesky, thanks for the comment, we hear that point quite a lot, which I think goes some way to explaining the large following in Canada and the US. I’m glad you are appreciating the choice of stockings, it means a lot. Lucy
One thing about ordering from Canada and US is that we rarely see the larger number of top quality lines and fashion (or trend) releases on websites/in stores over here. I order predominantly from UK / Europe because I like new styles and am impressed with the quality of the stockings etc that I can get even at the low/mid price point. People ask me where I buy my stockings and I encourage them to look at overseas sites; we rarely see all of the amazing designs, variety of price points and high quality brands here. (That isn’t to say there aren’t a few available locally, just that you offer more).Keep up the great work.
I am from Uruguay and can realize there is no Latin American country in the ranking. I suppose it is due a “cultural” thing. Women in this part of the world do not seem prone to wear stockings. But I myself have ordered and bought many pairs for the different girlfriends I have had throughout my life, including my current wife. I bought them from different stores, including yours, from which I ordered the last pair. Because from time to time I work abroad, I usually take the chance to buy one or two pair of backseam stockings. I love them and more so how fem
