Manufacture of nylon by adding liquid diamine to aqueous polyamide forming salt solution

摘要

A process for the manufacture of nylons by heating an aqueous solution of a salt of an alkanedicarboxylic acid of 6 to 12 carbon atoms and a diamine of the formula NH2RNH2, where R is alkylene of 6 to 12 carbon atoms or is a radical <IMAGE> to a temperature at which a nylon is formed, under superatmospheric pressure and with removal of water. The solution used is an aqueous solution of from 75 to 90 percent strength by weight of a salt of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine, which solution has been obtained by neutralizing a less concentrated salt solution, which contains an appropriate dissolved excess of the particular dicarboxylic acid, with the corresponding diamine. The nylons obtained are used for the manufacture of moldings.
