Nylon
is a strong, long-lasting synthetic material.
Its uses range from such things as shear hosiery and fishing lines to
toothbrush bristles and molded parts for machinery.
Nylon
is made from common elements obtained from coal (carbon) and air (oxygen and
nitrogen) and water (hydrogen). These
elements are heated, mixed and treated to such a way that they are changed into
a substance called “nylon salt.”
The nylon salt becomes a thick, gooey liquid when it is heated. The melted nylon is spread out into a thin sheet to cool. When hard, the sheet is cut into chips. The chips are then melted and manufactured into final products.

To
make yarn for weaving stockings and fabrics for clothes, the melted nylon is
pushed through time notes in a metal plate. Several
threads of nylon are then twisted together into a single yarn and then
stretched to make the nylon strong.–Dick Rogers
