Cast nylons produced by the anionic polymerization of caprolactam cover a wide range of applications and have improved mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance properties compared with polyamide 6 by injection or extrusion. By the addition of various additives such as colorants, MoS2, oil, lubricants and antistatic agent, the properties can be reinforced.
