Polycaprolactam (PA6) is an important engineering plastic, which is widely used in automobile, electronics, machinery, textile and other fields. In the field of raw materials for chemical production, the upstream and downstream related products of polycaprolactam mainly include the following aspects:

upstream raw materials:

1. caprolactam: caprolactam is the main raw material for the production of polycaprolactam, which is usually produced by benzene, acrylonitrile, hydrogen and other raw materials through a series of reactions.

2. Additives: The production process of polycaprolactam needs to add some additives, such as antioxidants, heat stabilizers, UV absorbers, etc., to improve the performance and stability of the product.

downstream products:

1. Fiber-grade polycaprolactam: Fiber-grade polycaprolactam can be used in the production of civilian silk, industrial silk, carpet silk, etc., with high strength, good wear resistance, excellent elasticity and other characteristics, widely used in textiles, clothing and other fields.

2. Engineering plastic grade polycaprolactam: Engineering plastic grade polycaprolactam can be used to produce various high-performance plastic products, such as auto parts, electronic and electrical accessories, mechanical parts, etc., with high strength, high temperature resistance, Corrosion resistance and other advantages.

3. Film grade polycaprolactam: Film grade polycaprolactam can be used in the production of packaging film, agricultural film, etc., with good transparency, toughness and water resistance.

4. Modified polycaprolactam: In order to better meet the requirements of specific application fields, polycaprolactam can be modified, such as reinforcement, toughening, flame retardant, etc., to improve its performance and application range.

In short, the upstream and downstream related products of polycaprolactam are very extensive, involving many fields, which is of great significance for promoting the development of the chemical industry.
