This photo, at the Seaford, Delaware plant, shows protective coating of size being applied as yarn passes over rollers saturated with the mixture. Rollers revolve in the trough through which size is pumped. Sizing yarn is an old textile process, but a special solution has to be developed for nylon. It gives protection to tiny filaments during knitting or weaving. After sizing, yarn is stored in a controlled atmosphere for 36 hours to permit the solution to set. Knitters and weavers boil off the solution in the final manufacturing step.
