About Caprolactam
Caprolactam is an intermediate polymer that is used in the production of nylon 6 fibers and nylon 6 resins, which accounts for 98 percent of the total caprolactam produced. Nylon 6 fibers are used in textiles, carpets, and industrial yarns while nylon 6 resins are used as engineering plastics in the Automotive, Films and Coatings, Wire and Cable, and Electrical industries. Caprolactam uses benzene and cyclohexane as raw material in its production process.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Caprolactam market to grow at a CAGR of 6.89 percent over the period 2013-2018.
