Difficult mechanical problems
solved by Du Pont chemists
and engineers to make nylon
paintbrushes practicable
Nylon bristles used in toothbrushes and
hairbrushes are uniform in diameter—
that is, they are ’'level.” Hut paint
brushes made from such bristles did
not paint well. Studies of the best natu
ral bristles showed that they were ta
pered, so a research'proghim to produce
tapered nylon bristles Was started.
Some difficult mechanical problems
were encountered. Level brush bristles
were being made by extruding molten
nylon through spinneret openings de
signed to produce filaments of perfectly
uniform diameter. A new technique had
to be found to make tapered ones. Since
it was not practical to taj>er the fila
ment after cooling and drawing, a pre
cise taper had to be put in just as the
nylbn emerged molted from the spin
neret. And it had to survive the drawing
operation, in which nylon is stretched
to several times its original length!
Techniques originated in laboratory
The original idea for solving this prob
lem came from Du Pont chemists, who
L
worked out the techn ques in the lab
oratory, in the somewhat crude form
represented in the accompanying dia
gram. It being largely a mechanical
problem, chemical and mechanical en
gineers were culled in to cooperate soon
after the studies got Under way. After
further laboratory development, the
engineers put the operation on a pro
duction‘basis.
The final result was a highly efficient
process for tapering nylon bristles. As
the molten filament emerges from the
spinneret, pinch-rolls driven by a series
of gears pull it sloWly, then quickly.
The size of the filament varies with the
speed of pulling—thick diameters re
sulting at slow speeds and thin diam
eters at fast. Next the nylon goes to
the drawing operation, where it is
stretched by rollers to give it strength
and resiliency.
Cnginaart designed special machines
.Following spinning and drawing, in
which many filaments are handled si
multaneously, the nylon is "set.” Then
it goes to a special machine, designed
by Du Pont engineers, which "feels
out” the crests and troughs and Cuts
the bristle at these points. This type of
design was necessary because of the un
avoidable small variations in Uk* length
of individual bristles, Sorting the bris-
