Nylon yarn

The most comprehensive nylon representative enterprises in the history

The representative enterprise of Nylon 12 : Evonik

Recently, Evonik, the world's leading specialty chemical company and market leader of nylon 12 resin, announced a major investment plan, which is expected to cost tens of millions of euros, adding a new nylon 12 resin production line at its German marl plant. The company said the plan, which is due to be launched later in 2017, is expected to increase its annual production capacity by 50%. In particular, the company cited two "growth areas" as key factors supporting this investment decision: 3D printing technology and thermoplastic resin matrix composites. It is understood that in the traditional market, the company's vestosint brand nylon 12 resin products are also growing steadily. This expansion will use a process proprietary to Evonik industries to transform the nylon 12 resin production in the marl plant. The resin powder can not only be used to coat metal parts of household appliances, such as dishwasher baskets, but also can be used in the fields of automobile and medical technology, as the bedding and structural agent of coatings. It is understood that the global supply of nylon 12 became a major problem at the beginning of 2012. At that time, a major explosion occurred in the factory of Evonik industrial group in marl, Germany, which resulted in a shortage of raw materials for CDT, the raw material of nylon 12, and the global supply of nylon 12 resin was severely strained. Nylon 12 is widely used in fuel lines and brake systems, which also prompted automotive suppliers to start looking for alternatives to nylon 12.

The representative enterprise of Nylon 610 : BASF

BASF announced in 2010 that it would bring the bio based nylon 610 to the market, and its nylon 610 would be used by automobile and other equipment manufacturers. The nylon 610 product is produced by hexamethylene diamine and sebacic acid, and sebacic acid is produced from castor oil. BASF has a nylon 610 production facility with a capacity of less than 1000 tons / year in Ludwigshafen, Germany. In the past few years, the company faced the competition with nylon 6 because of its high price. Now, the company is committed to the production of nylon 610 again, not only because of the price competition, but also because of its excellent performance. BASF is interested in nylon 610 not only because it is a renewable resource base, but also because its performance is better than nylon 6 and nylon 66, and in some aspects, it can be compared with nylon 612 and nylon 12.

|Nylon 612 representative enterprise DuPont

In 1939, DuPont set up a complete nylon factory in Seaford, Delaware, and two years later added a nylon factory in Martinsville, Virginia. Today, DuPont has developed into the largest and most international nylon manufacturer in the engineering polymer market. DuPont owns and operates world-class continuous polymer material plants around the world, and has polymer modification plants in 13 countries to ensure local supply for global customers. In 1994, DuPont introduced Zytel HTN high-performance polyamide resin to the market. Zytel HTN has improved the cost and productivity of many products, such as wire connector, automobile structure component frame, automobile engine cooling, ventilation and fuel system components. It is also developing applications in pipe, heating and chemical treatment systems. Nylon 612 was first developed by DuPont company. At present, the product has many brands and is widely sold in the market. Nylon 610 is similar to nylon 612 in structure and performance. Its performance is between nylon 6, nylon 66 and long carbon chain nylon, with low water absorption and good dimensional stability.

The representative enterprise of Nylon 1010 : akoma

In 1958, Shanghai CELU company synthesized PA1010, the only original nylon variety in China, with castor oil as raw material. So far, it has been exclusively produced in China, and its main manufacturer is Suzhou HAMP polymer materials Co., Ltd. in 2011, French Arkema acquired this Chinese company. In 2013, arcoma announced that the company's production unit in France produced new nylon 1010 products from castor oil. The product is made of 100% renewable raw materials, with good rigidity, thermal stability, permeability to gasoline and gas, and processability. It is expected to replace high-performance polyamide. In addition to Suzhou HAMP, akoma has previously acquired castor oil derivative sebacic acid producer kasda (Hengshui) and an Indian company engaged in castor oil production. This series of comprehensive integration from raw materials to polymers is conducive to the R & D and production of akoma's bio based nylon 1010.
