Nylon is a product manufactured in a Chemical Factory. Petroleum is the material required to make it. It can be used as material for other products.
==History==
In 1940 the revolutionary 'nylon-day' took place. It marked the birth of a sensational new material which was first used for toothbrush handles and bristles as well as for tights. As early as 1938, Du Pont´s chemical factory started developing the synthetic fibre that beat all conventional fabrics as far as tear-resistance and elasticity were concerned. Makers of tights were finally freed from the periodic lack of raw silk. Ladies were all waiting excitedly for the arrival of nylon tights and could finally get rid of their overly-sensitive silk stockings. The use of nylon in the production of toothbrushes had already started in 1938.
==Did You Know That?==
As early as 1938, the chemical company Du Pont started developing nylon which, compared to traditional fibres, proved to be an outstanding material as far as tear-resistance and elasticity were concerned. Its invention was the fashion event of the century for ladies! Finally, they were relieved from the strain of darning their tights. Moreover, the sensitive silk tights which they had previously worn had finally been consigned to fashion museums. Tight manufacturers were also freed from the periodically occuring lack of raw silk. For this reason, they promoted the new material enthusiastically.
