Located at 3305 Lingren Rd, and reachable at 213-793-0561, AJAX Northwest isn’t just selling fabric – they’re offering solutions built on quality, innovation, and a deep understanding of their customers’ needs. For years, AJAX Northwest has quietly become a go-to source for businesses demanding superior nylon. They aren’t some huge, faceless corporation. They’re a team of dedicated professionals genuinely passionate about materials science and committed to delivering products that actually perform. They specialize in sourcing, developing, and distributing a wide array of nylon fabrics tailored to a diverse range of applications. And they're really good at what they do. So, what’s the big deal about nylon? And why choose AJAX Northwest? Nylon, a synthetic polymer, has become a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. It's practically everywhere. From the clothes we wear, to the backpacks we carry, to the industrial components powering our machines, nylon’s versatility is unmatched. But not all nylon is created equal. AJAX Northwest understands this. They don’t just offer standard nylon. They offer engineered nylon, designed to meet specific performance criteria. Their portfolio includes a variety of nylon types, each with its own unique properties. Let’s break down some of the key nylon offerings from AJAX Northwest, and how they're being used right now: Nylon 6: This is your workhorse nylon. It’s incredibly strong, abrasion-resistant, and relatively inexpensive. Think durable backpacks, luggage, and even some automotive parts. AJAX Northwest’s Nylon 6 is known for its consistent quality and vibrant dyeability. They’re supplying this to several leading outdoor gear manufacturers who need a fabric that can withstand serious wear and tear. One customer, a popular camping brand, told us their new tents using AJAX’s Nylon 6 are significantly more durable, leading to fewer warranty claims. Nylon 6,6: Stepping up the game. Nylon 6,6 boasts even higher tensile strength and temperature resistance than Nylon 6. This makes it ideal for more demanding applications like industrial webbing, high-performance apparel, and even tire reinforcement. AJAX Northwest’s sourced Nylon 6,6 is incredibly consistent in its specifications, crucial for manufacturers relying on precision. We’ve seen this used in the production of heavy-duty conveyor belts, and a motorcycle gear manufacturer is raving about its improved abrasion resistance. Ripstop Nylon: Need something lightweight and tough? Ripstop nylon is the answer. The unique woven pattern creates a “stop” to tears, preventing them from spreading. It's the go-to choice for everything from kites and parachutes to lightweight jackets and windbreakers. AJAX Northwest offers Ripstop nylon in a variety of deniers (thickness) and colors. A company specializing in inflatable kayaks just switched to AJAX’s Ripstop nylon and reported a significant reduction in product failures. Ballistic Nylon: The heavy-duty champion. Named after its initial use in flak jackets, Ballistic Nylon is extremely durable and abrasion-resistant. It’s commonly used in protective gear, luggage, and tactical equipment. AJAX Northwest's Ballistic Nylon is available in various weights and coatings for enhanced performance. They’re currently supplying this to a manufacturer of armored backpacks and receiving high praise for its ability to withstand extreme conditions. Coated Nylon: AJAX Northwest doesn't stop at just the raw fabric. They also offer nylon fabrics with various coatings – polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and more. These coatings add water resistance, UV protection, and other desirable properties. This is huge for applications like rainwear, tarpaulins, and outdoor furniture. A company producing waterproof dog coats is using AJAX’s PU-coated nylon and reporting excellent results in both durability and waterproofing. Beyond the Fabric: What sets AJAX Northwest apart? AJAX Northwest isn't just about selling you a roll of nylon. They offer a whole package of services, including: Customization: Need a specific weight, weave, color, or coating?
