GERMAN HISTORY
Perlon, the Nazi nylon
75 years ago the night in a Berlin laboratory produces a
substance that fighterpilots saves the life, woman flatters
legs and armpits sweating men can: Perlon.
Germany's economic miracle mffelt. This is not just the
proverbial smoky industrial
smokestacks, but also to the favorite materials of the textile
manufacturer: Nylon and
nylon. Not only the women's legs stuck in ever cheaper mass
stockings, even dresses and
blouses and men's shirts are made of plastic. Because no air
gets to the skin, sweat
and stink of the Federal German in plastic clothes quickly. No
wonder that even the
deodorant at this time to begin its triumphal.
Significant debt at the stuffiness of the fifties and sixties
wearing Paul Schlack, 1897
in Stuttgart, born in 1921, is a certified chemist. He leads in
the thirties, the research
department at acetates of East-Hagen, a company that for
chemical company IGFarben heard. It manufactures rayon especially a
semi-synthetic fiber made of
cellulose.
The holiday reading , which Schlack in the summer 1937 with the
Lake Tegel is not just a
thriller: the patents for nylon, those first fully synthetic
fiber , the American Wallace Hume
Carothers was made in early 1935 for the first time. Schlack
look for clues as to
invent their own fiber, without the nylon from DuPont patent
infringing.
Schlack Browsed in the documents of the nylon-inventing
So a Swabian officials son works thoroughly: Schlack takes
before a starting material, the
Carothers has already rejected, the circular molecule
caprolactam . Because steelappliances in the German Empire, which
by itsNazi leadership is already preparing for
war, do not get easily, Schlack takes a place meant for large
kitchens boiler be content.
Is derived from coal tar verkchelt cyclohexanone with 90 percent
sulfuric acid to
caprolactam. The real trick, however, is what chemists "ROP"
call: At 240 degrees

Celsius, breaking the closed water molecule from the rings are
chains of hundreds of
molecules.
On the morning of 29 Schlack in January 1938 moved to a
nighttime experiment in his
laboratory oven round bars, two or three inches thick, and
highly stable. The horn-like
material to melt and draw endless threads of rows of molecules.
Tear-resistant, flexible
and temperature-resistant: The features are the same as for
nylon, but during this -
chemical called Polyamide 6.6 - consists of alternating
molecules of hexamethylene
diamine and adipic acid, hang in Perlon (polycaprolactam or
polyamide 6) is always the
same molecules to each other.

GERMAN HISTORY
Perlon, the Nazi nylonPage 2/2: The path to the sock is still
long
The path to the ladies hosiery is still long. Although it can be
located Perluran Schlack, as
he was still called, in the summer of 1938, patented under the
number 748 253, and alittle later who knits LBO firm of Louis
workers in Saxony Oberlungwitz the first attempt
stocking. On the market that comes first but not: Perlon is
vital to the war, only the IG
Farben managers can tap some trousers for their ladies.
Parachutes Perlon for the Wehrmacht
Instead, perlon ropes arise for the Wehrmacht, high-pressure
hoses for aircraft tires and
bristles for brushes with which weapons are cleaned. As silk
from Japan no longer
to Europe passes, all parachutes are sewn from Perlon. Schlack
receives the Military
Cross, the home front version of the Iron Cross.
Even for nylon, the military is an important customer, but at
least the U.S. company sold
in 1939 at its headquarters in Wilmington (Delaware) first
stockings. And on 15 May
1940 then "N-Day": The sale of nylon stockings starts in the
whole USA . Alone on the
first day brings DuPont claims to be five million pairs among
the people.
Even with IG Farben DuPont Business Happens. Although the failed
attempt to sell the
Germans a license for Nylon - who yes Perlon. So they divide
markets among themselves
and form a synthetic fiber cartel , cemented by mutual
shareholdings.
The IG Farben company that earned by including forced labor and
the production of
poison gas in World War II, is shattered after 1945. Most
synthetic fiber factories are
located in the East, many machines are dismantled and as
reparations to the SovietUnion managed.
1947 threatens Saxony Minister Fritz Selbmann , "the women in
the western zones as
long walk barefoot to their husbands we supply stainless steel
and metallurgical
coke." Fortunately, the women in the West care packages from the
USA are also nylon
stockings. They are - in addition to American cigarettes - the
currency of the black
market.
But Perlon returns: Just four years after the war throws Schlack
production in the West
again, with the usual consequences for the fashion world and the
sense of smell. Today
the world's chemical industry produces about four million tons
Perlon a year - almost
twice as much as the old rivals nylon.
For blouses and shirts, there are other fibers. Fortunately for
our noses .
The brand name "Perlon" can the West German synthetic fibers
protect the 1952nd The
production in the East to counter with its own brand: "Dederon",
derived from the symbol
