Also known as nylon 66, nylon 6,6, polyamide 6,6, PA66, Nylon and 2 more.
chemXplore tracks 2 projects involving polyamide 66.
2 produce it and 1 uses it as feedstock.
Converts sugarcane bagasse and cassava pulp into bio‑muconic acid; scaled to 50,000‑L semi‑industrial fermentation after 200+ experiments; partnering with Toray to make bio‑adipic for nylon 6,6.
Pilot-scale depolymerization and solvent-extraction recover high-quality PA6 from end-of-life vehicles and ASR for demanding automotive parts; demonstrated with Mercedes‑Benz, ZF and Pöppelmann K‑TECH, pending scale-up.
Adjusted EPS $2.45; net sales $2.8bn; adjusted EBIT $470m and operating EBITDA $649m. Q3 EPS guide $1.35–$1.75; full-year adjusted EPS ~$6.00 and FCF $700–$800m.
Patent for improved muconic acid commercialized; collaboration with Toray advanced bio-based adipic acid and pre-commercial Bio‑Nylon 6,6, supporting circular economy.
Cassava pulp was converted to bio-muconic, then bio-adipic acid and 100% bio-based nylon 66. Pilot saccharification, fermentation, refinement and lab polymerization.
Fund affiliate buys engineered materials unit: three EU plants, global subsidiaries, IP/brand, sales, application center and masterbatch ops; Belle Étoile excluded; leadership continuity planned.
Joint initiatives improve textile collection, sorting and recycling; mechanical and chemical recycling needed for mixed fibres. EPR funding and eco-modulation to fund infrastructure and boost reuse.
The new center in Haiyan will enhance innovation, support Asian customers, and focus on sustainable growth, leveraging local production and supply chain strengths.
New PFAS-free PA66 offers low friction, high-load performance, and customization for diverse applications, meeting regulatory demands and environmental standards.
HMD production will end by April 2027, reallocating resources to key growth areas. Employee roles will be reassigned, with minimal impact on overall performance.
