Bell november 2012 abstract zimmer ags continuous two stage polymerization process is widely licensed for the production of polyamide 6 nylon 6. The reaction chemistry is illustrated below. After removal of water and acid the nylon 6 is melt spun at 250260c into fibers.
After drying the nylon 66 is melt spun at 280290c into fibers.
Nylon 66 is prepared by step growth polymerization of hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid. 1 process description nylon 6 6 is synthesized by polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. The molten polymer is pumped through spinneret holes at a temperature of approximately 300 0c depending on the process parameters to form filaments that are cooled and solidified by the process of quenching. 6 is made by polymerizing caprolactum.
