Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Nylon 6 (PA6) (CAS 25038-54-4) as textile, engineering and film grade chips and granules to textile-yarn, engineering-compound, film and injection-moulding manufacturers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, with batch-wise COA, sealed moisture-protected packing and fast GCC delivery.
Nylon 6 (polyamide 6, PA6, polycaprolactam) is a semi-crystalline engineering polyamide made by ring-opening polymerisation of caprolactam, supplied as white to off-white chips or granules. It is strong, tough and abrasion resistant, melts at about 220 °C and absorbs moisture from the air.
It is used for textile and industrial yarn, carpet fibre, tyre cord, injection-moulded gears, bearings and housings, glass-filled automotive parts, cable ties and fasteners, BOPA and blown packaging film and monofilament. Grades vary by viscosity, lustre, filler and additives.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Nylon 6 (PA6) from approved manufacturers with consistent assay and low levels of relative viscosity, moisture, extractables and colour, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.

Nylon 6 absorbs water quickly from humid air, which causes bubbles and brittle parts when melted wet, so we ship chips in sealed, foil-lined or moisture-barrier bags that keep the polymer dry through UAE summer humidity.
Whether you need a few drums for a pilot batch or regular bulk loads for continuous production, we plan packing, labelling, documentation and transport from port or warehouse to your gate.
Moisture-barrier bags on stretch-wrapped pallets.
About 1,000 kg bulk bags with moisture liners.

Nylon 6 (CAS 25038-54-4) is made from a single monomer, caprolactam. It is different from nylon 6,6 (made from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid), from nylon 12 and from caprolactam itself. Please quote the grade and CAS number.
Share the grade (textile, engineering or film), relative viscosity and packing, quantity, packing, Incoterm and delivery Emirate through our contact page and our team aims to respond within one business day.
Typically 25 kg foil-lined or moisture-barrier bags on pallets, with jumbo bags and octabins for large users, and full 20 ft or 40 ft container loads for regular supply.
The minimum order depends on packing and current stock. We handle everything from a few drums or small packs for trials and lab qualification up to full container loads.
Store sealed bags indoors in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sun, heat and ignition sources. Reseal opened bags promptly and dry the resin before processing.
Nylon 6 (PA6) pellets are generally not classified as hazardous for transport, but fine dust can form combustible dust clouds and molten polymer causes severe burns. Process with ventilation and follow the SDS supplied with the grade.
Yes. We export from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, East and West Africa, South Asia and other markets on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP terms, subject to the import rules of each destination.
Yes. Samples are available for qualification on request, together with the COA and SDS, so your QC or R&D team can approve the material before a commercial order.
Nylon 6 is made from one monomer, caprolactam, and melts near 220 °C, while nylon 6,6 is made from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid and melts near 260 °C. Nylon 6 is easier to process and dye, and nylon 6,6 is stiffer and more heat resistant.
Water breaks amide links in the melt and causes bubbles, silver streaks and lower viscosity. Chips are packed in moisture-barrier bags and are dried to a very low level before spinning, extrusion or moulding.
