Nylon 6 Production

The reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine produces hexamethylenediammonium adipate, commonly called nylon salt (Fig. l) Forming the salt assures the correctly balanced proportions. It is also necessary that the material to be polymerized contain very few impurities if high-quality fibers are to be made by a variety of routes (Fig. 2).

FIGURE 2 Various routes to nylon.
Nylon 6, or nylon caprolactam, is a polymeric fiber derived from only one constituent, caprolactam, giving the polymer [-(CH₂)₅CONH-]_n. It has a lower melting point than nylon 6,6, but it is superior to it in resistance to light degradation, elastic recovery, fatigue resistance, and thermal stability.
