Caprolactam CAS 105-60-2

Caprolactam (CAS 105-60-2) is a cyclic amide and a fundamental organic crystalline compound primarily utilized as a monomer in the ring-opening polymerization of synthetic fibers and structural plastics. This white hygroscopic solid serves as the essential precursor for the production of polycaprolactam, facilitating the formation of high-tenacity industrial yarns and engineering resins characterized by exceptional mechanical strength and thermal stability. To support large-scale manufacturing requirements, we provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing and ensure full compliance through the provision of customized specifications alongside standard technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    Is this Caprolactam (CAS 105-60-2) consistent with the grade required for nylon 6 synthesis?

    A: Yes, this substance is the standard 6-carbon cyclic lactam intended for the ring-opening polymerization process to create polyamide 6 (nylon 6) resins and filaments.
  • Q:

    What is the primary role of Caprolactam in industrial polymer formulations?

    A: In industrial chemical processing, it acts as a high-purity monomer that, upon heating and catalyst introduction, undergoes structural transformation into long-chain polymer resins used for engineering plastics and industrial textiles.
