Chemicals, Namely, Caprolactam Produced From Recycled Materials For Manufacturing Nylon Products, and Nylon Polymer Manufactured From Recycled Caprolactam For Use In Making Nylon Polymers
Cyclohexane (CX) Uses and Market Data
Nearly all cyclohexane consumed in the production of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, which are then used mainly to make adipic acid and caprolactam respectively. Adipic acid accounts for 60% of cyclohexane demand and is used to make nylon 6,6. Around 75% of global caprolactam is used in nylon 6
Caprolactam Production and Manufacturing Process
Conventional caprolactam technology is based on the key intermediate cyclohexanone, which is usually produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane, but can also be made from phenol or toluene. Separately, hydroxylamine sulphate is manufactured by the oxidation of ammonia to nitrous oxide followed by
