The origin of word Nylon is not very clear. Many people say that it is an abbreviation of NY (New York) and Lon (London) pieces together, these two places is the first production of nylon. However, this argument is unfounded. In 1940, DuPont was said Nyl is free to find out on because many fibers (such as cotton) English words on the end of. Also known in an article published in 1978, DuPont Originally intend to call it No-Run, but then something changed in order to make it nice Nylon. Now people do not pay much attention to the word origin, instead they put their attention on the the application of Nylon in manufacturer field as much as possible. Take a common example, in garment and garment accessories like printed lanyards.

During the Second World War parachute was made of nylon (Prior Usually with Asian silk production), it is somewhat like an big printed lanyards, in addition to tires, tents, ropes, and other military supplies with nylon manufacturing. It can even be used to make paper for printing in U.S.A. In the beginning of the war, cotton accounted for 80% of the fiber material, the other 20% as long as the wood fibers. In August 1945, the amount of cotton occupy reduced to 75%, while the proportion of man-made fibers up to 25%.

The printed lanyards made of Nylon is the most important engineering plastics which rank first place in the top five general-purpose engineering plastics . It has high softening point, heat resistance, low coefficient of friction, wear resistance, self-lubrication, shock absorption and silencer, oil, weak acid, alkali and general solvents resistance, electrical insulation and good self-extinguishing, non-toxic, odorless, good weather resistance, low dyeability, those factors make it can be seen everywhere in our daily life.
