2022-02-16 - 85th anniversary Nylon
85 years ago, on February 16, 1937, the U.S. chemical company DuPont filed a patent application for the new plastic developed in its laboratories by Wallace Hume Carothers. Nylon was first used for toothbrushes and played an important role during World War II in the manufacture of parachutes as a substitute for silk. The triumph of the nylon stocking as a fashion item began on May 15, 1940, with the official start of sales in selected stores in the USA. Today, nylon is also used to make ropes or strings for musical instruments, among other things.
