Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for coating substrates with polyamides by the use of nanoscale particles with coating rates of at least 250 m/min, as a result of which “edge waving” and “neck-in” are prevented.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of polyamide 6 by the hydrolytic polymerization of ?-caprolactam, in which, in the first step, caprolactam ring opening occurs under the action of water and, in the following steps, polycondensation is performed at low temperatures under anhydrous conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing polyamide 6 (PA 6) by hydrolytic polymerization of &egr;-caprolactam. In a first reaction step, a first intermediate mixture is formed by ring opening &egr;-caprolactam in the presence of water, under conditions of increased pressure and temperature. The first intermediate mixture is then dehydrated to form a dehydrated intermediate having a water content of less than 0.5 wt. %. The dehydrated intermediate is subsequently polymerized to. produce a polyamide 6 product having a low dimer content (e.g., of less than 0.3 wt. %). The invention also relates to an apparatus in which the process may be performed. The apparatus includes, in sequence, a pressure reactor (23) having heat exchange surfaces (36), a dehydration device (24) that is in fluid communication with the pressure reactor (23), and a main reactor (25) that is in fluid communication with the dehydration device (24).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a single- or multilayer product containing &agr;-olefin-vinyl alcohol copolymers and at least one &agr;-olefin-vinyl acetate copolymer, wherein the amount of vinyl acetate repeat units present in the &agr;-olefin vinyl acetate copolymer is in the range from 35 to 99.99% by weight, and these repeat units have good flexibility which permits processing films or other thin-walled items which are transparent after stretching or thermoforming, and to a process for producing the same, and to their use as packaging films.
