I have a pair of vinylon pants. They're genuinely the itchiest piece of clothing I've ever owned. Itchier than my handmade wool blanket. They also withstand serious abuse, and look brand new. They even kept their creases over multiple dozens of washings.
If i remember correctly most Polyester fiber is made from bottles so the inverse of that is actually true! (Since single use bottles are barely used/damaged, light so easily sortable, and made in obscene numbers, it’s actually decently competitive even vs fossil oil/gas.
No joke there was a car called the the Trabant made out of a kind of plastic called “duroplast” which was made of recycled pants. They made 3 million of them.

The change in raw material from petroleum to coal was quite important earlier on for the DPRK, since they don't have any domestic oil, but do have substantial coal reserves. These days they cannot obtain any substantial amounts of petroleum due to sanctions.
@@timothybayliss6680 According to the OEC, North Korea exported $27.3 million worth of refined petroleum, like 96% of which went directly to Senegal. Checks out, with the massive statue a North Korean company built in Senegal not too long ago
I dont know if you want to make clothes out of the moon. Once exposed to the Earths atmosphere the material will begin to become rancid and native bacteria will begin to eat the whey protein, fats, and lactose residues.
The funniest thing about this is that an intermediate product of the Vinylon production, called PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), is still used today as a fiber in many technical textil applications and even to reinforce concret. A brand name for this is Kuralon.
Thanks a ton for making this, I've always found the DPRK intriguing! Your video brought me some awareness on such a material that wouldn't require a whole lot of imports, which I think would be perfect to add into the dark portal fantasy novel I've been writing for the past seven months. The protagonist would be a bereaved chemistry professor reborn into a fantastical world, only for her to inadvertently unleash the same industrial echoes of war that ravaged her past. She later builds up a small faction located atop an abandoned bituminous coal mine, but ends up having to deal with trade embargoes. She would definitely be able to make PVA and thus vinylon; possibly improving it by adding ammonium polyphosphate during polymerization for fire resistance, along with some basic fabric softening techniques for comfort, and optionally run some vinylon fabrics on heated rollers to thermally bond and seal them for all-weather applications like ponchos and umbrellas. Being primarily available in depressing colors yet shiny just adds to the vibe overall, and I always wondered why North Korean clothes often looked that way - their interesting circumstances have made it work in such a peculiar way.
It really sounds to me that outside of Clothing, Vinylon is a miracle material that if any other developing country had the means to build an industry and economy around its production, it would be a game changer for said country. Imagine if a country like the Philippines had a Vinylon industry starting out in the 60-70's, catering to electronic engineering and manufacturing. They would've been uniquely positioned to supply Japan with a material good for insulating electronical wiring just as that country became a consumer electronics and car manufacturing powerhouse in its own right in the 70's, 80's and 90's! Sorry for the tangent, I just get bummed out by hearing about these novel cottage industries being created in developing nations and never hearing about them again. Great video!
Its not actually all that good. Pretty much everything it can be used for, its just sub par. When it comes to clothes, natural and synthetics that are already used, are already far superior. And outside of clothes its just not even worth using.
It's only good for making tents and tarp. Vinylon is incredibly stiff and itchy, imagine making your clothes out of ikea bags, that's how it would feel.
I am not going to lie, I read about this in a book over 20 years ago. It was some famous American writer who got a segment in the Vice Documentary about N. Korea. He was an honored guest despite him making this massive 600 page bookn bashing them for human rights violations. Well in his book no joke, he talked about this very product. I was shocked and in disbelief. Material fabric made from stone wool? I believe I wrote this in a book report, and my teacher thought I was lying. How could you make fabric from stone, you moronic? To this day, I always believed this old White guy who wrote this tell-all book, but thank you for giving it a whole video about it.
North Korean uniforms are so interesting to me since they vary so much and are constantly evolving. We see still that there’s the older drab brown uniform used by militia and border guards, yet simultaneously there’s the re-use Chinese fabric uniforms in a knock-off M81 print.

Vinylon has halogen replaced with a nitrate so it is only a 1930s Riken version of synthetic rubber of Carothers of how calcium carbide reacts with water to form acetylene so please read Barbara Molony's book "Technology & Investment" where she describes how electrolyzed charcoaled coal was reacted with calcium oxide heated from limestone.

One commenter accused you of just reading out the wikipedia article on vinylon for this video. But that can't be true, because the article says the fiber was synthesized at Kyoto university, that Ri-Sung-gi was on the team that synthesized it and did bring it to Korea (it wouldn't have been North Korea at the time), but it does not say that he made vinylon himself. I have no idea which version of events is true. I'm just pointing the discrepancy out.
Point of note: North Korea, less than 20% of it's lands is fertile even for agricultural of any meaningful scale, which is why since the 1980s they had moves toward green house systems and it is very effectives at producing large quantities of foods for the nations, albeit still lack in some variety that is simply hard to grows dues to the regions climate. Now the things about agricultures is that, you can grow clothing material, you also need lands to grows Falx, Hemps and similar plants for linen fibers, alternatively countries can import the cotton from the slaves states of central Asia, which most countries in the world do, minus a very few can produces their own sources of cotton and linens, however North Korea are both block, sanctions from getting cottons from cheap cottons provides thank to NATO sanctions, they can't grows much at homes. Occasionally, and depended on strategics political decisions, China and Russia may helps them at acquiring raw resources that they can't produces at home, which both nations had been doing more often since the 2020s, but before that, since the USSR and China turns to marketization, they been giving North Korea the cold shoulder treatment for being one of the last nations that rely on it's domestic economic instead of foreign markets. Here the things, you can also make clothing materials with the technical and chemical know how, like how other nations ironically made medicines from substances made entirely artificial, by combines substances and elements, instead of harvesting chemical elements from natural plants for example. North Korea is a nations with large mineral deposits, so they tried to recreate linen likes materials through artificially making them from extracted chemicals elements and combining them into useable element, then raw materials, process into a finish products. If anything this is some sci-fi technology that we do see in Western video games, but dues to most of the commenters being from the most propagandizes country/zone on earths, plus being very racist toward Asian nations ever evolving ways of life that isn't tide to the capital economic systems and servitude to the western culture, that they don't seek to understand nor cares to understand, most commenter in this video just jumps toward label North Korea as being critically insane, but if you bring this up to scientist, and their employer don't point a pistol at their head, or threaten to fires them, they would considers this an amazing and important achievement towards progress.
Ah yes, the west is the most propagandized zone on earth, but countries like Russia and China who spend 100 times more money on foreign propaganda and 1000 times more on internal propaganda are free thinking and open minded. Get some help. By the way, NATO has never sanctioned North Korea.
@ArchOfficial USA sanctioned and still is sanctioning the DPRK little man and the USA doesn't need to spend much on propaganda, the state ideology of neoliberalism dictates that the free market is more efficient. Therefore, it is private organizations that propahandize and brainwash you. News, think tanks, social media, Hollywood, etc
The societ Union didnt actually drain the Aral sea. If you look at inshes of the Aral sea in 1989, it was quite full. There eas infrastructure built to preserve the sea but the corrupt post-soviet states failed to maintain the infrastructure.
Industries of Hamgyong Province or Eastern North Korea were better run by Noguchi of Nitchitsu or Nihon Chisso since Noguchi of Hamhung Hungnam was able to perfect muon catalyzed fusion rocket propulsion of gliders and airships to have no use for rail transit and laser optical traps to refine metallurgical and chemicals at room temperature since Alvarez and Maiman were only credited after United Nations Peacekeepers had returned from Soviet Russian pillaged ruins of Autum Fall of 1945.

Occasionally, and depended on strategics political decisions, China and Russia may helps them at acquiring raw resources that they can't produces at home, which both nations had been doing more often since the 2020s, but before that, since the USSR and China turns to marketization, they been giving North Korea the cold shoulder treatment for being one of the last nations that rely on it's domestic economic instead of foreign markets.
Here the things, you can also make clothing materials with the technical and chemical know how, like how other nations ironically made medicines from substances made entirely artificial, by combines substances and elements, instead of harvesting chemical elements from natural plants for example. North Korea is a nations with large mineral deposits, so they tried to recreate linen likes materials through artificially making them from extracted chemicals elements and combining them into useable element, then raw materials, process into a finish products.
If anything this is some sci-fi technology that we do see in Western video games, but dues to most of the commenters being from the most propagandizes country/zone on earths, plus being very racist toward Asian nations ever evolving ways of life that isn't tide to the capital economic systems and servitude to the western culture, that they don't seek to understand nor cares to understand, most commenter in this video just jumps toward label North Korea as being critically insane, but if you bring this up to scientist, and their employer don't point a pistol at their head, or threaten to fires them, they would considers this an amazing and important achievement towards progress.
Ah yes, the west is the most propagandized zone on earth, but countries like Russia and China who spend 100 times more money on foreign propaganda and 1000 times more on internal propaganda are free thinking and open minded. Get some help.
By the way, NATO has never sanctioned North Korea.
@@ArchOfficialMy friend, don't even try, those people are already too far gone in the propaganda.
no matter how much propaganda is used I don't care leftist and socialist ideologies are a practical failure
@ArchOfficial USA sanctioned and still is sanctioning the DPRK little man
and the USA doesn't need to spend much on propaganda, the state ideology of neoliberalism dictates that the free market is more efficient. Therefore, it is private organizations that propahandize and brainwash you. News, think tanks, social media, Hollywood, etc
Genius
Damn, i want vinylon
Serious question: why are the Fjallraven backpacks stupid? Also why are they so popular?
I actually bought one after watching this video lol and never heard of them before this
The societ Union didnt actually drain the Aral sea. If you look at inshes of the Aral sea in 1989, it was quite full. There eas infrastructure built to preserve the sea but the corrupt post-soviet states failed to maintain the infrastructure.
And it’s got total X up 😂😂😂
Vinylon clothes are 100% nuclear explosion resistant. Just as well.
If I had to rely on stuff I created, I’d be naked, living in a cave or tree stump, and eating berries.
It’s because you are not an entire country
Sounds like modern day asbestos.
Wow! Clothing made out of rocks!! I wonder if anyone thought about making clothes out of asbestoes.....
is this why they have issues with roads falling apart during floods and rain? At least so I've heard and seen of some of the area there.
When Vinylon clad metal bands?
They put so much effort to develop this industry only to go back to zero later cause the soviet oil doesn't smell korean.
Industries of Hamgyong Province or Eastern North Korea were better run by Noguchi of Nitchitsu or Nihon Chisso since Noguchi of Hamhung Hungnam was able to perfect muon catalyzed fusion rocket propulsion of gliders and airships to have no use for rail transit and laser optical traps to refine metallurgical and chemicals at room temperature since Alvarez and Maiman were only credited after United Nations Peacekeepers had returned from Soviet Russian pillaged ruins of Autum Fall of 1945.
Shit.. how old is this guy? The aral sea was fine in the ussr times. Uzbekistan drained it in the 90s and 2000snds
Don’t confuse popular with mandated or availability.
exactly…considering the location fashion isn’t an option
@@bostonrailfan2427?
@@deege. fashion choices like cuts and fabric is a western thing, what they’re wearing is an entirely forced style that people must wear or else…

Good vidéo
drained the aral sea to increase cotton production?
really?
In 6:42 image shows Polish coal power plant located in Belchatow, not North Korea. In addition, it is a power plant fueled by brown coal (lignite), not anthracite.
I'm aware, just needed a good photo of a coal plant.
Amazingly enough, that adds nothing to the content but thanks.
Sounds about as healthy as a pair of asbestos pants.
