Patent number: 7138482Abstract: In the production method of polyamide of the present invention, the mole balance at a set point during melt polymerization is estimated from a pre-established equation for calculating the mole balance during melt polymerization from a melt viscosity. On the basis of the estimated mole balance, the subsequent conditions of melt polymerization of a batch and the polymerization conditions of the next and subsequent batches are determined. In addition, the mole balance, molecular weight and relative viscosity of melt-polymerized polyamide are estimated from pre-established equations each for respectively calculating the mole balance, molecular weight and relative viscosity at the end point of melt polymerization from the melt viscosity. The conditions for solid phase-polymerizing the melt-polymerized polyamide are determined on the basis of estimated values.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2003Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.Inventors: Kazumi Tanaka, Hideyuki Kurose, Takatoshi Shida, Minoru Kikuchi

Patent number: 6750318Abstract: The polyamide resin of the present invention is produced by the polycondensation of a dicarboxylic acid component and a diamine component containing xylylenediamine and bisaminomethylcyclohexane in a total amount of 70 mol % or higher. The polyamide resin contains impurities having a boiling point of from 150 to 300° C. at ordinary pressure and a solubility parameter of from 8 to 16 in a total amount of 0.3% by weight or lower based on the weight of the polyamide resin. The polyamide resin is free from various inconveniences due to inclusion of the impurities, and suitably used in applications for molding materials, bottles, sheets, films and fibers.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2002Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.Inventors: Kazumi Tanaka, Takatoshi Shida, Hideyuki Kurose

Patent number: 6657037Abstract: In the process for producing polyamide of the present invention, a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid are melt-polycondensed in a batch-wise fist polymerizer in the absence of a solvent to produce a middle-stage polyamide. The diamine has a boiling point higher than a melting point of the middle-stage polyamide being produced under inner pressures of the first polymerizer. The middle-stage polyamide is fed into a continuous second polymerizer while controlling the change of relative viscosity within ±0.2, and further polycondensed there to produce the objective polyamide. With such a process, the change of polymerization degree of the middle-stage polyamide during the switching of the polymerization step from a batch-wise manner to a continuous manner is avoided, thereby preventing the variation in quality of the final product.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.Inventors: Kazumi Tanaka, Takatoshi Shida, Hideyuki Kurose

Patent number: 6559273Abstract: In the process of the present invention, a recovered polyamide is used as a part of the raw materials for producing polyamide. By carrying out the polycondensation under a condition such that the recovered polyamide is dissolved in the reaction system during the polycondensation, the properties of the polyamide being produced are not deteriorated as compared with those of polyamide which is produced without using the recovered polyamide. By changing the addition amount of the recovered polyamide, the crystallization speed of the resultant polyamide is controlled or increased as compared when produced without using the recovered polyamide.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Ltd.Inventors: Takatoshi Shida, Kazumi Tanaka
