NMP will dissolve Nylon, 66, at elevated temperatures I would suspect that it happens at over 150C. We used it in a process study at elevated pressure and temperature to dissolve nylon. I do recall that Nylon solubility was greatly affect by other solvents added to NMP though NMP did a fair job alone.
Nylon should be ok as stated above if the tmeperature is kept less than 60C. I would carefully watch the combinations of different materials.
