1. Caprolactam CAS 105-60-2 is primarily used as the key monomer for manufacturing nylon 6 —Caprolactam undergoes ring-opening polymerization to form the polyamide, Caprolactam CAS 105-60-2 is widely used in textiles and engineering plastics.
2. Caprolactam serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as caprolactam-based coatings and adhesives, leveraging Caprolactam CAS 105-60-2 cyclic amide structure for functional material production.
3. In some industrial applications, Caprolactam is used to produce plasticizers and mold-release agents, enhancing the processability and performance of various polymer products.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
1. Store caprolactam CAS 105-60-2 (typically solid flakes or molten liquid) in a sealed, chemically resistant container (e.g., HDPE or stainless steel) to prevent moisture absorption and contamination, as Caprolactam can hydrolyze in the presence of water.
2. Keep Caprolactam CAS 105-60-2 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area (ideally 20–30°C for solids; heated tanks at ~70–90°C for molten form, with temperature control to avoid solidification or degradation).
3. Isolate Caprolactam from strong oxidizers, acids, and bases to prevent unwanted reactions, and label the container clearly with its name, hazard info (e.g., irritant), and storage conditions.
