Talk:Nylon 6

message: The number always gives the length of the carbon chain. If there are two numbers it is created by polycondensation of a diacid and a diamin Nylon 6,6. With one number it is created by ring opening polymerisation from a lactame. Stone 09:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not an expert on this, but I've heard that, in addition to ring-opening spontaneously at high temperatures, caprolactam can polymerize to nylon-6 in a water-catalyzed reaction.  I imagine water attacks the carbonyl somehow but I can't find any details.  If there is an alternate synthesis path it's probably worth mention.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.220.166 (talk) 18:41, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The Nylon-6 Promotional group (NPG-6) is a group to "Enhance the opportunities in Nylon-6 
related industries by means of more collaboration and communication.”
The website: www.NPG-6.com has a lot of information about the members, but also about Nylon-6 applications/properties/production processes. It would be helpfull if the NPG-6 link would be present on the Nylon-6 and Caprolactam page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcsys (talk • contribs) 
:I am removing the link to the homepage of npg-6, I could concur if the page is linking to a page on npg-6 which tells more about nylon-6, now non-specialists have to search for the information.  I do not know if this link concurs with wp:el, I would like to hear some opinions on this page.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 18:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have read your request, I will wait for some more responses.  My opinion: an external link to the page about nylon 6 on nylon-6 and caprolactam could be useful.  Not to the homepage of NPG-6.  (Copied from the talk page of user:Mcsys).  --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, putting links to NPG-6 seems more like advertising for it. Xcentaur 18:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nylon-6 Promotional Group 

message: It would be interesting to mention more about the use of Nylon 6 in: Tire Cord, Textile, Engineering plastics, Film and Carpet.
On the following site: http://www.npg-6.com/internet/en/html/algemeen/publications/publicationsandpresentations.pshe#I466WN17A162HU21252H
There are Nylon 6 application sheets, explaining the Nylon 6 use.
Do you guys think it will contribute to wikipedia, to add the sheets or its contents?
thanks,

thread_title:  The applications of Nylon 6  

message: In the 1990s, BASF, a German chemical company, began experimenting with Nylon 6 as part of their '6ix Again' nylon recycling program. The end result was Savant@, a carpet material made of Nylon 6 fiber that can be reused indefinitely. The Nylon 6 in Savant@ can be depolymerized and rematerialized into Savant@ with virtually no loss. The Nylon 6 is referred to in sustainable design as a technical nutrient where materials (nutrients) from the old fabric form the basis of the next generation of material in what is a closed loop. Unlike most recycled materials technical nutrients are not downcycled into their next application. In this case, the end product Savant@ is of similar or greater value than the original Nylon 6.

message: It says Nylon 6 absorbs "2.4 percent of water". Someone should specify whether this is by weight, volume, or ocean size... 184.57.194.188 (talk) 16:15, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Absorbing water. 

message: It is frustrating that also here in the english version of Wikipedia the entry on Nylon is wrong.
The differentiation is between Polaymide 6 (PA6) and Polyamide 6,6 (PA6,6).
Only Polyamide 6,6 is Nylon while Polyamide 6 is Perlon.
I know that commonly people name all Polyamides as Nylon which is not correct but something like
Wikipedia should be correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.156.9.73 (talk) 11:58, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Its tenacity is between 6 and 8.5 gm/den with a density of 1.14 gm/cc.
What units are "gm/den" and "gm/cc"?
