Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

An autoclave was charged with 5.0 kg of ε-caprolactam, 9.5 kg of 12-aminododecanoic acid and 1.0 kg of water, the temperature was increased gradually to 260° C. and then the internal pressure was adjusted to 4 kg/cm2 2 hours thereafter. After 2 hours of reaction at 260° C., generated steam was gradually removed, and the pressure was adjusted to atmospheric pressure and then to a reduced pressure for 1.5 hours of reaction, thereby obtaining a nylon 6/12 polymer.
