    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    According to San Diego Plastics, the numbers used to describe nylon refer to "how many methyl units (-CH2-) occur on each side of the nitrogen atoms (amide groups)." These affect the strength of the nylon and the effect that moisture has on the nylon's properties.
