Asahi Kasei and Microwave Chemical launch a joint demonstration project for PA66 chemical recycling

asahi kasei corporation and microwave chemical companies have launched a joint demonstration project to commercialize a chemical recycling process for polyamide 66 (pa66, also known as nylon 66) using microwave technology. this process uses microwaves to depolymerize pa66 to directly obtain monomers hexamethylenediamine (hmd) and adipic acid (aa), which is expected to achieve high production capacity and low energy consumption. the monomers obtained can then be…
