[Le] filage par fusion est utilisé pour la majorité des polymères thermoplastiques qui sont fondus à une température supérieure au point de fusion puis injectés dans la filière sous pression; la solidification est assurée par refroidissement à l'air et donne naissance aux filaments. Polyamide, polyester, oléfine et verre nécessitent ce procédé de fabrication. 3, record 3, French, - filage%20%C3%A0%20l%27%C3%A9tat%20fondu

Nylon is chemical composition consisting basically of petroleum, air and water-Manufacturing nylon, however, is a complicated process. A molten polymer is extruded and forced through tiny holes to produce nylon filament fibres of various diameters. These filaments are "drawn" and twisted, to form yarns. In so doing the long superpolymer molecules are lined up into an orderly, parallel arrangement. This gives nylon yarn its strength, elasticity and lustre. 3, record 4, English, - nylon

Le nylon est une composition chimique à base de pétrole, d'air et d'eau - Sa fabrication, cependant, est très compliquée. Un polymère fondu est extrudé, c'est-à-dire forcé au travers de trous minuscules pour produire des filaments de nylon de diverses grosseurs. Ces filaments sont étirés et tordus pour former des fils. De cette manière, les molécules de superpolymère se trouvent alignées parallèlement dans un ordre parfait, ce qui confère au fil de nylon sa résistance, son élasticité et son lustre. 2, record 4, French, - nylon
