ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Caprolactam</b>. Caprolactam is the key raw material used in the production of nylon 6 fibers and resins, essential in textiles, carpets, and engineering plastics. Its high tensile strength and durability make it invaluable in automotive and industrial applications. Caprolactam is produced via the cyclohexanone oxime process. It is stored as solid flakes or granules and remains in high demand due to the growing global need for synthetic fibers and resins.</p> <h6>Raw Material</h6> <p><b>Cyclohexane</b>. Cyclohexane, a relatively stable cycloalkane, is an important intermediate in nylon manufacturing. In fact, almost all cyclohexane produced commercially is employed in the production of Adipic Acid and caprolactam, precursors to nylon. A very small fraction of the cyclohexane produced is consumed in minor miscellaneous uses, such as solvents and polymer reaction diluents. On a commercial scale, cyclohexane production is almost entirely based on hydrogenation of benzene.</p>
