Where nylon 6 might not cut it, Jain says, nylon 6,6 customers can opt for higher-end polymers. DSM makes nylon 4,6 and 4,10 and polyphthalamide, which match nylon 6,6 in heat and chemical resistance.

INVISTA plans to add 40,000 tons of nylon 6,6 polymer capacity at its current 150,000-ton polymer plant at SCIP. Contacts INVISTA Public Affairs Kim Conlee +1-316-828-1647 [email protected] ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have taken a step toward making it easier to chemically recycle nylon 6. The polymer is used in products including carpets, textiles, packaging—and fishing ...

The companies first joined forces in January 2020 to produce the world’s first metric ton of bio-based nylon 6 precursor at pilot scale before entering into an agreement in November 2020 to ...

Nylon-6, an artificial polymer used in carpets, clothing, and car parts, is made by chemically linking large numbers of molecules derived from a petroleum product called caprolactam.

A step closer towards commercialization to fulfill brand demands SAN DIEGO and ARCO, Italy, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sustainability leader Ge ...

Invista, a US-based producer of chemical intermediates, polymers and fibers, said it has entered a "new era of nylon" by completing an expansion of its polymer site in Shanghai on Aug 8, which ...

The study, "Catalyst metal-ligand design for rapid, selective and solventless depolymerization of Nylon-6 plastics," was supported by RePLACE (Redesigning Polymers to Leverage A Circular Economy ...

The tensile strength of the PEA reached up to 110 MPa, surpassing that of nylon 6 and PET. In practical experiments, a single PEA fiber strand was able to lift a 10 kg object without breaking.

The companies say they have now produced the first several tonnes of this plant-based caprolactam in Slovenia, converted this to nylon 6 polymer, and are now in the process of transforming it for ...

This upcycling approach reduced CO₂ emissions to just one-third that of conventional nylon 6—lowering emissions from 8–11 kg CO₂eq/kg to 2.3–2.6 kg CO₂eq/kg.
