Man-made fibers are produced by combining polymers or small molecules. An example of a raw material is petroleum-based chemicals. The typical manufacturing process is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Begins as a solid pellet, chip, or flake.<\/li>\n
  2. Heated to its melting point.<\/li>\n
  3. Extruded through a spinneret, like a shower head, and solidifies in the cool air.<\/li>\n
  4. Filaments are stretched and orient into an orderly arrangement. This stretching process gives the filament both its strength and elasticity.<\/li>\n
  5. Multiple filaments are combined into a bundle to form a filament yarn.<\/li>\n
  6. Yarn is graded into deniers (sizes) and used in the weaving, braiding, or knitting of fabric. (A monofilament is extruded as a single filament like a fishing line)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
