| NYLON 6 Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | crystalline powder | | Uses | Tire cord; fishing lines; tow ropes; hose manufacture; woven fabrics. | | Uses | NYLON 6 is a commonly known synthetic material used as a fiber in eyelash lengtheners and mascaras, and as a molding compound to shape cosmetics. NYLON 6 gives bulk to a formulation and, when appropriate, provides opacifying properties. It can cause allergic reactions.
| | Uses | Nylon-6, a condensation polymer, can be produced by chainwise,
ring openings of cyclic amide (lactam) without expulsion of small
molecules, and also by stepwise polycondensation of #>amino
acid. | | Definition | NYLON 6 is a type of synthetic polymer linked by amide groups –NH.CO–. NYLON 6 polymers can be made by copolymerization of a molecule containing two amine groups with one containing two carboxylic acid groups.
| | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Mildly toxic by inhalation.
Questionable carcinogen with experimental
neoplastigenic data by implant route. When
heated to decomposition it emits toxic
fumes of NOx. |
