Nylon tire yarn (NTY), primarily made from Nylon 6 or Nylon 66, is a specialized high-strength fiber woven into cords and coated with rubber to reinforce tires, significantly enhancing their durability, strength, and overall performance. It is widely used in radial and bias tires for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles, contributing to improved load-bearing capacity, puncture resistance, and heat and chemical durability.

Feedstock for Nylon Tire Yarn

The feedstock involved in the production process of nylon tire yarn consists of caprolactam. Caprolactam production heavily depends on raw materials, such as benzene, which is linked to crude oil prices. Volatility in crude oil and benzene prices, driven by global economic conditions, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions, directly affects production costs and, consequently, caprolactam pricing. The prices and availability of other raw materials, such as cyclohexanone (fluctuations in the prices of cyclohexane impact its pricing) and phenol (the prices of raw materials like benzene and propylene influence its pricing), also affect its pricing. Fluctuations in demand from major end-use industries, such as the automotive, textiles, and industrial sectors, strongly impact caprolactam prices. Improvements in production technology, such as eco-friendly and cost-efficient methods, reduce costs and improve supply reliability, potentially moderating prices.
 

Market Drivers for Nylon Tire Yarn

The nylon tire yarn market is primarily driven by its application in the manufacturing of passenger car and commercial vehicle tires coupled with the expanding automotive industry, especially in rapidly developing economies such as China and India. Technological advancements in nylon yarn production, including improvements in tensile strength, heat resistance, and the development of high-tenacity and lightweight variants, enable manufacturers to meet the increasing demands of consumers. These advancements also enable the production of high-performance tires that offer enhanced fuel efficiency, durability, and safety, which fuels the market expansion for nylon tire yarn. The global shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) further boosts the market for nylon tire yarn, as EV tires require greater strength and longevity. Additionally, the growing adoption of radial tires, which rely heavily on nylon cord, further propels the demand for nylon tire yarn.

The cost of nylon polymer and caprolactam, key raw materials for the production process, directly affects industrial nylon tire yarn procurement. Price fluctuations due to crude oil and energy costs are also significant. Ongoing R&D to enhance NTY’s tensile strength, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance affects procurement as manufacturers seek advanced materials for modern tire applications. Stringent quality control and adherence to technical standards are also important to ensure the yarn meets tire manufacturers’ specifications, which in turn influence the overall procurement costs.

The capital expenditure (CAPEX) for a nylon tire yarn manufacturing unit covers land, civil structures, utilities, and a full line of specialized machinery like polymerization reactors, vacuum systems, chip dryers, extruders, spinnerets, quenching chambers, spin draw winders, drawing machines, heat setting units, twisting machines, cablers, rewinders, and conditioning chambers. It also includes supporting equipment such as boilers, chillers, compressors, quality labs, and handling systems. Additional spending is allocated for installation, commissioning, automation, pollution control, and working capital margin. Energy demand, automation level, and environmental compliance are major factors shaping the total plant capital cost.

The operating expenditure (OPEX) for a nylon tire yarn plant primarily covers raw materials, such as caprolactam, which accounts for the largest share, along with additives and packaging. Energy costs are significant due to power and steam needs for polymerization, spinning, and drawing. Regular expenses include labor for operations and maintenance, spare parts, quality control, effluent treatment, waste handling, and compliance. Other ongoing costs come from administration, insurance, safety, logistics, and storage. Overall, raw materials and energy account for the majority of total operating costs, significantly influencing the competitiveness and profitability of nylon tire yarn production.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Nylon Tire Yarn manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Nylon Tire Yarn manufacturing.

• Production via polymerization of caprolactam: The feedstock required for the industrial manufacturing process consists of caprolactam.

The manufacturing process of nylon tire yarn begins with the polymerization of caprolactam, assisted by additives such as amino acids and heat stabilizers. The process is carried out using either a batch or continuous process. Following polymerization, the resulting nylon chips are washed to eliminate impurities and then dried. In the next step, the dried chips are melted in an extruder and extruded through a spinneret to create filaments. These filaments are cooled, treated with a spin finish, and finally wound onto bobbins. This sequence of steps results in the manufacture of nylon tire yarn.
 

Properties of Nylon Tire Yarn

Nylon tire yarn, primarily made from nylon 6 or nylon 66, exhibits a variety of physical and chemical characteristics. It features high tenacity in the range of 8.5 to 9.3 grams per denier and a breaking elongation between 12% and 40%, providing both flexibility and impact resistance. It has a specific gravity of 1.14. It is lightweight and offers excellent abrasion resistance. The softening point of nylon 6 is 149 degree Celsius, while nylon 66 softens at a temperature of 229 degree Celsius. Their melting points are 215 degree Celsius and 252 degree Celsius, respectively. Additionally, nylon tire yarn shows good resistance to oils and fuels and remains stable across a broad temperature in the range of -40 degree Celsius to +100 degree Celsius. However, it is susceptible to degradation when exposed to strong acids and bases.
