CAS 105-60-2: Caprolactam

Description:Caprolactam is a cyclic amide with the molecular formula C6H11NO, primarily recognized for its role as a precursor in the production of nylon 6, a synthetic polymer widely used in textiles and plastics. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor and is soluble in water, alcohols, and many organic solvents. Caprolactam has a melting point that allows it to exist as a liquid at room temperature, facilitating its processing in industrial applications. The substance is produced through the cyclization of amino caproic acid or by the oxidation of cyclohexanone. It is important to handle caprolactam with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Additionally, it is classified as a hazardous substance, necessitating proper safety measures during its use and storage. Overall, caprolactam is a vital compound in the polymer industry, contributing significantly to the production of high-performance materials.
