Polyamide (Nylon) resins include a range of polymerisation polymers, PA6, PA11 & PA12, as well as several condensation polymers, such as PA66, PA6/10, and PA4/6.
PA6 is a polymer of caprolactam. PA66 is produced by condensation polymerisation of adipic acid and HMDA. Together they account for 90% of the engineering resin volume produced globally.
PA6 is easier to injection mould, cast, or film, while PA66 has superior temperature performance and tensile strength in automotive applications and is usually more expensive.
Global capacity (excluding captive resin used in fibre production) is close to 2 million of which PA6 has the majority share. Injection moulding grades constitute 75% of global demand, much of which is automotive.
