Caprolactam Monomers

Based on 4 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Caprolactam monomers contribute to outstanding adhesion to many substrates, excellent chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, thermal resistance, and superior thermal stability. Caprolactam monomers are used in automotive assembly, industrial maintenance, and durable goods. 

Sub-types include alkylated caprolactams, N-substituted varieties, and caprolactam-based blocked isocyanates, and specialty grades offer controlled reactivity for specific processing requirements. Recent developments focus on caprolactam derivatives designed for lower-temperature polymerization, addressing energy efficiency concerns in manufacturing.

V-Cap™ RC

by Ashland

V-Cap™ RC by Ashland is n-vinyl-2-caprolactam. It is a pale yellow crystalline solid stabilized with 10 ppm N, N’-di-sec-butyl p-phenylenediamine. It accelerates UV curing rates as a reactive diluent. It imparts unique solution viscosity reduction and enhanced adhesion to non-polar substrates. It also imparts hydrophilicity, adhesiveness, strength & complexing capability. V-Cap™ RC is a super cooled liquid and can remain as a liquid at room temperature for extended periods. It has pyrrolidone ring and produces amorphous & hydrophobic polymers.

Caprolactam

by Grupa Azoty

Caprolactam by Grupa Azoty is e-aminocaproic acid lactam. It is offered in two states, white solid (irregular flakes) at 20°C, and colorless clear liquid above 70°C with no mechanical impurities. Caprolactam is used as a monomer for the production of polyamide, polymers, thermoplastics, resins and thermosetting resins.
