How is Caprolactam different from Adipic Acid?

Caprolactam is the monomer for Nylon 6 via ring-opening polymerisation, while Adipic Acid is a co-monomer (with hexamethylenediamine) used to produce Nylon 66. Caprolactam is CAS 105-60-2; Adipic Acid is CAS 124-04-9.

What is the price of Caprolactam in the UAE?

Pricing depends on grade, form (flake or molten), quantity, packing, Incoterm and current market conditions. Share your requirement through our contact page and our team aims to send a clear quotation within one business day.

What packaging is available for Caprolactam?

It is typically supplied in 25 kg moisture-barrier bags for flake material, with jumbo bags for bulk and molten tank-truck delivery available for integrated polymerisation plants.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The minimum order depends on form and availability. We handle everything from small packs for trial lots and lab qualification up to full container loads.

How should Caprolactam be stored?

Store flake material in tightly closed, moisture-proof containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and oxidisers. Molten caprolactam requires temperature-controlled storage per the TDS.

Can you export Caprolactam from the UAE?

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.
