Petroleum Technologies Timeline - Greatest Engineering Achievements of the Twentieth Century

Petroleum Technologies Timeline - Greatest Engineering Achievements of the Twentieth Century: "1920s-1940s Nylon, acrylics, and polyester are developed

An assortment of new compounds derived from byproducts of the oil-refining process enter the market. Three of the most promising new materials—synthesized from the hydrocarbon ethylene—are polystyrene, a brittle plastic known also as styrofoam; polyvinyl chloride, used in plumbing fixtures and weather-resistant home siding; and polyethylene, which is flexible inexpensive, and widely used in packaging. New synthetic fibers and resins are also introduced, including nylon, acrylics, and polyester, and are used to make everything from clothing and sports gear to industrial equipment, parachutes, and plexiglass.
