Title: Production of nylon
Date(s): 1960/1969, 1960, 1969
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Production of nylon is a complex art requiring super cleanliness and rigid control of temperatures and pressures. In the manufacture of yarn at the textile fiber plants, the nylon salt solution is first piped into evaporators where much of the solvent is removed to form a more concentrated solution. This flows into an autoclave-like a giant pressure cooker-where small molecules link up to form long chain-like molecules. When this is completed, the nylon is a molten syrupy material. It flows...
Show moreProduction of nylon is a complex art requiring super cleanliness and rigid control of temperatures and pressures. In the manufacture of yarn at the textile fiber plants, the nylon salt solution is first piped into evaporators where much of the solvent is removed to form a more concentrated solution. This flows into an autoclave-like a giant pressure cooker-where small molecules link up to form long chain-like molecules. When this is completed, the nylon is a molten syrupy material. It flows from a slot in the bottom of the autoclave onto the surface of a broad, slowly revolving casting wheel. A shower of water hardens the polymer into a translucent milk white ribbon, which is then chipped up into small flakes. The nylon chips from several autoclaves are blended and poured into hoppers. Grids melt the flakes and a carefully designed pump forces the viscous molten nylon through the fine holes of a spinneret to form the yarn filaments, which solidify as they hit the air. The DuPont Company makes the yarn but does not manufacture fabrics, hosiery or other finished products from nylon. It sells the yarn to other companies which transform it into the competed consumer products.
