<p>Caprolactam is obtained from mixtures which contain polymers or thermoplastic molding materials having the repeating unit -N(H)-(CH2)5-C(O)- (a) by cleavage at elevated temperatures in the presence of a base under reduced pressure or (b) in the presence of water, by using a mixture essentially comprising from 50 to 99.9% by weight of a polymer or of a thermoplastic molding material having the repeating unit -N(H)-(CH2)5-C(O)- from 0.1 to 50% by weight of additives selected from the group consisting of inorganic fillers, organic and inorganic pigments and dyes, from 0 to 10% by weight of organic and/or inorganic additives, from 0 to 40% by weight of non-polyamide-containing polymers and from 0 to 20% by weight of polyamides, with the exception of polycaprolactam and copolyamides prepared from caprolactam, and carrying out the cleavage in the presence of a base under reduced pressure, the water content of the mixture used being not more than 0.01% by weight, or carrying out the cleavage in the presence of water without the addition of acid or base at from 270 DEG to 350 DEG C. and a weight ratio of water to polymer or thermoplastic molding material of from 1:1 to 20:1 and in a reaction time of less than 3 hours.</p> |
