Bio-based nylon 56 (bio-based PA56) has broad application prospects. Cathay Biotech is a leading company in my country
Bio-based nylon 56, also known as bio-based PA56 and bio-based polyamide 56, refers to polypentamethylene adipate, which is polymerized from bio-based pentanediamine and petroleum-based adipic acid. Bio-based nylon 56 has the advantages of excellent heat resistance, environmental protection, good flame retardancy, and good hygroscopicity. It is widely used in electronic and electrical, automobile manufacturing, textiles, wind power, aerospace, sporting goods and other fields.
The main preparation process of bio-based nylon 56 is biological method. Biological method, also known as microbial fermentation method, refers to using corn or other starch-containing crops as raw materials, using microbial fermentation technology to produce pentanediamine, and then through bacterial metabolism, reduction and other processes to obtain finished products. In terms of raw materials, my country is a major agricultural country, with a huge planting area of starch crops and sufficient output; in terms of technology, bio-based nylon 56 is a product with completely independent intellectual property rights in my country, and its technical level ranks among the world’s leaders. The raw material and technical advantages will lay a good foundation for the development of my country’s bio-based nylon 56 industry.
Bio-based nylon 56 is a bio-based material. In recent years, the country has attached great importance to the development of the bio-based material industry and introduced many policies to support it. On May 10, 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “14th Five-Year Plan for Bioeconomy Development”. The document clearly stated that we should focus on the development of bio-based materials and new fermentation products, and accelerate the process of replacing traditional chemical raw materials with bio-based materials. Against this background, the prosperity of my country’s bio-based nylon 56 industry will further improve.
According to the “Global and Chinese Bio-based Nylon 56 (Bio-based PA56) Industry In-depth Research Report in 2023” released by the Industrial Research Center , compared with products such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, bio-based nylon 56 produces extremely low carbon emissions during the production process. Electronics and electrical, automobile manufacturing, textiles, wind power aerospace, sporting goods and other fields are the main demand ends of bio-based nylon 56. In the field of automobile manufacturing, bio-based nylon 56 can replace nylon 66 and used to make tire cord fabrics; in the field of textiles, bio-based nylon 56 can be used to make products such as clothing, carpets, and bags. In the future, as research continues to deepen, the application scope of bio-based nylon 56 will be further expanded.
my country’s bio-based nylon 56 industry has a high degree of concentration, with leading companies occupying a dominant position in the market. Cathay Biotechnology focuses on the research and development, production and sales of bio-based nylon materials. It has the core production technology of bio-based nylon 56 and is the leading bio-based nylon 56 enterprise in my country.
Industry analysts said that bio-based nylon 56, as a bio-based material, has broad application prospects in many fields. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials and the improvement of independent research and development capabilities of local companies, the development speed of my country’s bio-based nylon 56 industry continues to accelerate. It is expected that in the future, companies with large-scale production capabilities of bio-based nylon 56 will occupy a larger share of my country’s market.
