Abstract:
In a two-step precondensate process for preparing polyamides diamines are reacted with dicarboxylic acid dihalides in a polar, non-basic, inert organic liquid medium under conditions such that a condensation product having a low degree of polymerization is formed. The resulting condensation then is contacted with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble acid acceptor by continuously feeding the components into a reactor system having a total residence time from about 2 seconds to about 2 minutes, and having a Peclet number greater than about 3.5 to form a polyamide product having a high degree of polymerization.

Disclosed is a process for reducing low molecular weight impurities, namely caprolactam and its oligomers, from Nylon-6 pre-polymer during the preparation of Nylon-6 polymer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing polyamide 6 (PA 6) by hydrolytic polymerization of null-caprolactam. In a first reaction step, a first intermediate mixture is formed by ring opening null-caprolactam in the presence of water, under conditions of increased pressure and temperature. The first intermediate mixture is then dehydrated to form a dehydrated intermediate having a water content of less than 0.5 wt. %. The dehydrated intermediate is subsequently polymerized to. produce a polyamide 6 product having a low dimer content (e.g., of less than 0.3 wt. %). The invention also relates to an apparatus in which the process may be performed. The apparatus includes, in sequence, a pressure reactor (23) having heat exchange surfaces (36), a dehydration device (24) that is in fluid communication with the pressure reactor (23), and a main reactor (25) that is in fluid communication with the dehydration device (24).

Abstract:
A method for preparing nylon 6 copolymer containing 5-sulfoisophthalate salts comonomer. The method includes the steps of reacting 5-sulfoisophthalate salts ester with aliphatic diamine in a molar ratio of 2null20 at 160null200null C., followed by completely removing the unreacted aliphatic diamine, to obtain the intermediate compound with terminal amine ,5-sulfobenzenediamide compound (formula III). Next, caprolactam and aliphatic diacid (formula IV) are reacted at 200null260null C. to form an oligomer with a low molecular weight. 5-Sulfobenzenediamide (formula III) and catalyst are then added into the oligomer obtained in previous step to cause a polymerization reaction at 200null280null C. to obtain nylon 6 copolymer containing 5-sulfoisophthalate salt comonomer. The molar ratio of E/C is 0.005null0.150 and the molar ratio of D/E is 1.05-1.00. Compounds present in the water extract are greatly reduced.
