Rainbow Super Bright Nylon Top
Combed nylon fiber with a shiny sparkle appearance. It has been rainbow dyed to create a spectrum of color. Nylon is a man-made fiber of petrochemical origins. Nylon is the brand name of the Dupont Company, which has now become a generic name. It is also commonly known as polyamide. The fibre comes in varying molecular structure. The most commonly known ones today are Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. Nylon 6.6 is produced using two chemicals; hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid -each containing 6 carbon atoms, hence 6.6. This is obtained from the distillation of benzene or coal tar. Specific amounts of the two chemicals are combined in solution to form nylon salt. The nylon salt is then polymerised under pressure, with nitrogen to produce a ribbon of polymer, which is then flaked or chipped. This polymer is then melted and extruded through a spinneret into cool air, where the nylon filaments are formed. After cooling the filaments are stretched to orientate the molecules in the fibre, which
