Information provided by DuPont many years ago informed us that the melting temperature of nylon is 258°C, but no decomposition products will result from melting. At 160-170°C nylon will oxidize and change crystalline structure to where absorbed moisture will be driven off. Thermal degradation of the polymer begins between 350-400°C with ammonia, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen out-gassing.
