NYLON 6 Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
crystalline powder
Uses
Tire cord; fishing lines; tow ropes; hose manufacture; woven fabrics.
Uses
NYLON 6 is a commonly known synthetic material used as a fiber in eyelash lengtheners and mascaras, and as a molding compound to shape cosmetics. NYLON 6 gives bulk to a formulation and, when appropriate, provides opacifying properties. It can cause allergic reactions.
Uses
Nylon-6, a condensation polymer, can be produced by chainwise, ring openings of cyclic amide (lactam) without expulsion of small molecules, and also by stepwise polycondensation of #>amino acid.
Definition
NYLON 6 is a type of synthetic polymer linked by amide groups –NH.CO–. NYLON 6 polymers can be made by copolymerization of a molecule containing two amine groups with one containing two carboxylic acid groups.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mildly toxic by inhalation. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic data by implant route. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
Synthesis
Nylon 6 is synthesized from caprolactam via ring-opening polymerization; in industrial production, water serves as an initiator to hydrolyze caprolactam into 6-aminocaproic acid in situ, which then acts as a monomer and acid catalyst for the polymerization[1][2].
Solubility in organics
o-Chlorophenol, m-cresol
