Content and Scale:
PA6 (Polyamide 6), also known as Nylon 6, is a type of polyamide resin. As the thermoplastic resin, PA6 is made through spinning and molding after caprolactam melted utilizing polycondensation. It is white, cylindrical particles, soluble in phenol and hot concentrated sulfuric acid, characterized in good resiliency, excellent electrical insulation property, extremely high abrasive resistance, good alkali resistance and corrosion resistance, poor light resistance. At present, PA6 engineering plastics are widely applied in such fields as the automobile industry, mechanical industry, electronic and electrical industry, daily-use products and chemical and building materials industry. In 2021, China’s consumption of PA6 plastics was approximately 6,270,000t, but around 80% was imported from overseas. In 2022, China’s demand for PA6 is predicted to reach around 6,650,000t. As a result, it is very necessary to expand the production of PA6 engineering plastics. Caprolactam production facilities of the biggest scale and highest technological level in China have been built in the New Materials Industrial Park of Lianjiang Kemen Economic Development Zone, with a total scale of 1,000,000t/a, among which Phase I of 400,000t/a will be put into production, capable of providing high-quality caprolactam for the production of PA6 plastics.
Industry

New Materials Industry

In recent years, Fujian Province has seen a growing agglomeration effect in its new materials industry, with a gradually improving innovation system and an expanding variety of materials. The production processes and output of stainless steel materials, ternary cathode materials, tungsten wire for lighting, high-performance automotive aluminum alloy sheets, laser and nonlinear optical crystals and devices, among others, rank among the highest in China. Leading enterprises such as Tsingtuo Group, CATL, Highsun Holding Group, Xiamen Tungsten, Zijin Mining Group, and Deer Technology have been cultivated. Driven by these industry leaders, Fujian has initially formed influential specialty new materials clusters, including lithium battery materials, stainless steel materials, advanced functional textile materials, advanced chemical materials, rare earth materials, and graphene.
