What country made nylon?

Answer 1

I suppose that would be USA, as the product was manufactured first by DuPont, an American company. Bill Pittendreigh, DuPont, and other individuals and corporations worked diligently during the first few months of World War II to find a way to replace Asian silk and hemp with nylon in parachutes. It was also used to make tires, tents, ropes, ponchos, and other military supplies. It was even used in the production of a high-grade paper for U.S. currency. At the outset of the war, cotton accounted for more than 80% of all fibers used and manufactured, and wool fibers accounted for the remaining 20%. By August 1945, manufactured fibers had taken a market share of 25% and cotton had dropped.

Answer 2

The major producing countries are USA (25.9%) followed by China (21.6%) and Taiwan (10.7%).

Answer 3

Nylon was invented by Wallace Carothers, an American chemist working for DuPont, an American company. He first produced nylon in the United States in the late 1930s.
