Nylon Production Costs - Q4 2022
Nylon Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Nylon (a.k.a. Polycaprolactam, Polyamide 6, Nylon 6) is one of the main commercial nylons along with Nylon 6-6. The term ‘Nylon’ refers basically to polyamides, which are high polymers containing the amide repeat linkage in the polymer backbone. Those polymers not only were the first engineering thermoplastics but still are the most important ones among these types of material.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Nylon production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q4 2022).
Nylon 6 Production from Caprolactam (Batch Process)
This report presents the economics of Nylon 6 production from caprolactam. The typical process analyzed consists of a batch ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam via the hydrolytic mechanism. The economic assessment assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 65 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Nylon 6 E11A target a 65 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Nylon 6 Production from Caprolactam (Continuous Process)
This report presents the economics of Nylon 6 production from caprolactam in the United States. The process examined is a typical continuous ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam via the hydrolytic mechanism, carried out in two stages, similar to technologies developed/licensed by Thyssenkrupp (Uhde Inventa-Fischer) and Air Liquide (Lurgi Zimmer). An aminoacid is the intermediate for condensation.
Details: 100 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Nylon 6 E12A target a 100 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
