  • Patent number: 10487176
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing nylon salt, which comprises mixing 1,5-pentanediamine, water and dicarboxylic acid at a temperature of 65 to 120° C. to obtain a nylon salt, wherein the amount of the water is 2% to 12% by weight based on the total weight of the 1,5-pentanediamine and the dicarboxylic acid. The present invention also provides a nylon salt. According to the present method for preparing nylon salt, the incomplete reaction between the 1,5-pentanediamine and the dicarboxylic acid, which is caused by the nylon salt present during the preparation in a solid state, can be avoided; the reaction between the 1,5-pentanediamine and the dicarboxylic acid can be significantly speeded up, and the reaction time is accordingly shorten. Consequently, the content of diamine and dicarboxylic acid remained in the resulting nylon salt is very low. In addition, the final nylon salt product, which present in a solid state, makes it easier to be stored and transported.
