The fellow who ran the spinneret – the solution is forced through a spinneret to make fibers – insisted it would clog the machine.
But Kwolek convinced him to give it a try. The result was surprisingly strong. Suspecting a mistake, she tested it several times.

They refined the material, and introduced Kevlar in 1971.
