Caprolactam (CPL) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)5C(O)NH. This colourless solid is a lactam (a cyclic amide) of caproic acid. Global demand for this compound is approximately five million tons per year, and the vast majority is used to make Nylon 6 filament, fiber, and plastics.
Almost all caprolactam produced goes into the manufacture of Nylon 6. The conversion entails a ring-opening polymerization:
Nylon 6 is widely used in fibers and plastics.
In situ anionic polymerization is employed for cast nylon production where conversion from ε-caprolactam to Nylon 6 takes place inside a mold. In conjunction with endless fiber processing the term thermoplastic resin transfer molding (T-RTM) is often used.
Caprolactam is also used in the synthesis of several pharmaceutical drugs including pentylenetetrazol, meptazinol, and laurocapram.
Caprolactam is mainly used for making resin,fiber and artificial leather, also used as pharmaceutical raw materials. Caprolactam is mostly used in the production of polycaprolactam, about 90% of which is used in the production of synthetic fibers, called capron,and 10% is used as plastics in the manufacture of gears, bearings, tubes,medical devices and electrical and insulating materials.
