Polyamide resins and process for producing the same

摘要

The polyamide resin of the present invention is produced by the polycondensation of a dicarboxylic acid component and a diamine component containing xylylenediamine and bisaminomethylcyclohexane in a total amount of 70 mol % or higher. The polyamide resin contains impurities having a boiling point of from 150 to 300° C. at ordinary pressure and a solubility parameter of from 8 to 16 in a total amount of 0.3% by weight or lower based on the weight of the polyamide resin. The polyamide resin is free from various inconveniences due to inclusion of the impurities, and suitably used in applications for molding materials, bottles, sheets, films and fibers.
