Understanding PA6 Fiber and Its Recycling Challenges #
PA6 fiber, also known as polyamide 6 fiber, is a synthetic material produced through the polymerization of caprolactam. Renowned for its wear resistance, flexibility, chemical stability, and low moisture absorption, PA6 fiber finds extensive use in clothing, home furnishings, industrial applications, ropes, nets, and engineering plastics. However, significant amounts of PA6 fiber waste are generated during both production and usage. Effectively recycling and granulating this waste is essential for advancing resource sustainability.
