Nylon Thread: Melt-Spun Monofilament, Cold-Drawn Between Two Drums, Carothers
Nylon sewing thread is a single clear strand, a monofilament. Carothers' patent (1938) spins nylon 66 straight from the melt at 285–295 °C, with oxygen kept out, and catches the strand on a drum. A second, faster drum then stretches it (cold drawing), which makes it strong.
The picture: our own drawing.

Load the pot under nitrogen
Load the pot under nitrogen
Fill the melt-spinning pot with dry nylon 66 pellets and close it. Flush it with nitrogen and keep it under nitrogen: oxygen must stay out of the molten polymer.

Melt at 285–295 °C
Melt at 285–295 °C
Heat to 285–295 °C, the best spinning heat for nylon 66. Cooler gives poorer filament; hotter makes it too runny, and it may break down.

Extrude and catch it
Extrude and catch it
Press the melt out through the hole with nitrogen pressure (Carothers' example used 50 lb/in²). Catch the strand on a motor-driven drum. A larger hole gives a thicker strand; hotter melt and faster winding give a finer one.

Cold-draw onto a faster drum
Cold-draw onto a faster drum
Run the strand from the first drum onto a second drum turning faster, which stretches it. In Carothers' example the drums ran at 300 and 1020 ft/min. Keep the strand wet: wet filament draws better and holds no static.

Help a thick strand
Thick strands are harder to draw. Soak them in water, or warm them to about 100 °C, before drawing.
