Abstract:
An improved process for the continuous polymerization of .epsilon.-caprolactam in the presence of water as initiator in a vertical downward-flow tubular reactor, in which the .epsilon.-caprolactam is partially polymerized at elevated temperature in a first, mechanically agitated reaction zone and is further polymerized in further reaction zones to the desired degree of polymerization. Poly-.epsilon.-caprolactam is discharged in the form of a melt. The polymerization is carried out at a gauge pressure of from 0.2 to 0.9 bar, constant in all reaction zones. The temperature in the first reaction zone is maintained according to the relationship t.ltoreq.265+43 p .degree.C., where p is the numerical value of the gauge pressure in bars which relationship is subject to the condition that the temperature be within the range of 260.degree. to 295.degree.
