The raw material used to create nylon fibers and other nylon-based products is referred to as nylon feedstock resin. Adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine, which combine chemically to create nylon polymer chains, are the main ingredients of nylon feedstock resin.
Adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine monomers are combined in the presence of a catalyst and heated to start the reaction in order to produce nylon feedstock resin. This procedure is known as polymerization. This results in the creation of a viscous, molten material that may be treated and extruded into a variety of shapes, such as fibers, films, and molded components.
Adipic acid to hexamethylenediamine ratio can be changed, as well as the inclusion of additional chemicals or modifiers, to alter the properties of nylon feedstock resin. Nylon is a well-liked material in a variety of applications, from apparel and textiles to automobile parts and electronics, thanks to its strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and abrasion.
Global Nylon Feedstock Resin market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Ascend Performance Materials has unveiled a new grade of nylon 6/6 resin at Fakuma and is working to open up a constrained market for the material.
By the end of the year, Decatur, Alabama-based Ascend will add nearly million pounds of annual capacity for adiponitrile feedstock, and it will start to build more capacity for the substance there the following year. That nearly million pound extension ought to be online.
conflicting information on long-term nylon 6/6 availability it was essential to reconfirm our commitment to meeting rising [nylon 6/6] market demand, supporting clients, and sustaining reliable operations.
Ascend intended to increase capacity across the entire nylon 6/6 chain, including resins, compounds, and adipic acid feedstock. When a fire broke out at the company’s resin plant in Pensacola, Florida, it has been forced to operate under force majeure, the plant is currently functioning at 90% of capacity and should resume full output by the end of the year.
