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

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

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

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

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.

Ama-blueprint ahlobene

Lama-blueprint abelana ngolwazi — amasu, izinto noma izimiso

CC0 Isizinda Somphakathi

Le blueprint ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-CC0. Ukhululekile ukukopisha, ukuguqula, ukusabalalisa, nokusebenzisa ngaphandle kwemvume.

Sekela uMenzi ngokuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Blueprint yabo IKhomishane Yomenzi kumiswe ngabathengisi, noma dala inguqulo entsha yale Blueprint bese uyifaka njengoxhumaniso ku-Blueprint yakho ukuze wabelane ngemali engenayo.
