[edit] Request adding an external link
The Nylon-6 Promotional Group (NPG-6) is an international group of companies that are active in the Nylon-6 industry, ranging from raw materials to fibres, textiles, engineering plastics, film and dedicated equipment. Nylon-6 is a dynamic, exciting and incredibly versatile material. This high performance polymer is unrivalled in its number of applications, including textiles, carpets, industrial fibres, engineering plastics and film. NPG-6 provides information about the value and performance of Nylon-6 in its many uses.
The activities of NPG-6:
- Promotion of Nylon-6
- Provide a global networking platform
- Conduct market surveys & application studies
- Stimulate business chain cooperation and developments
- Increase knowledge
That sums it up, I really think that the NPG-6 site has added value for the visitors of the wikipedia-Nylon-6 page. Could you please put the link back?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mcsys (talk • contribs).
- I have read your request, I will wait for some more responses. My opinion: an external link to the page about nylon 6 on nylon-6 and caprolactam could be useful. Not to the homepage of NPG-6. (Copied from the talk page of user:Mcsys). --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I am doing a report on carcinogenics, and this came up as a Group 4 carcinogenic. Group 4 is the group of agents that is not known to cause cancers. What's up with the toxicity, then? Chemstudent17 01:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Chemstudent17
[edit] Relationship to caproic acid
Would it be correct to state that caprolactam is a "Cyclic amide of caproic acid"? e.g. per http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=7768 (this is presumed to be another way of saying that it is a lactam of 6-aminohexanoic acid (ε-aminohexanoic acid))—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.149.178.232 (talk • contribs).
- I'd prefer the latter (the lactam of 6-aminohexanoic acid), caproic acid is hexanoic acid, which to me sounds odd/misleading to call that the 'open form' of caprolactam. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:52, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
