Hydrolytic process for the preparation of a melt stable polycaprolactam

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a caprolactam that is not appreciably subject to re-equilibration during melt spinning of textile fibres. In the process such an amount of chain length regulating agent is used that the relative viscosity of the polyamide increases by not mor...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a caprolactam that is not appreciably subject to re-equilibration during melt spinning of textile fibres. In the process such an amount of chain length regulating agent is used that the relative viscosity of the polyamide increases by not more than 0.5 units after 20 hour heat treatment in the solid phase in an inert gas atmosphere at between 110 DEG C. and 190 DEG C., after extraction.
