Information profile @ a Glance
- Adiponitrile is the organic compound with the formula (CH2)4(CN)2.
- This dinitrile, a viscous, colourless liquid, is an important
precursor to the polymer nylon 66. In 2005, about one billion kilograms
were produced annually
- Nearly 90% of world adiponitrile capacity is in the United States
and Western Europe with three producers
- Adiponitrile is consumed in the production of HMDA.
- Consumption of HMDA throughout the world remains closely tied to
demand for nylon 66 fibers and resins. Nylon 66 fibers and resins
account for more than 90% of the combined regional consumption of the
United States, Western Europe, China and Japan
- The major route for the synthesis of adiponitrile
(ADN) involves electrosynthesis, starting from
acrylonitrile (AN) in an electrochemical reactor
- Most HMDA demand growth in North America and Europe will result from
increased demand in the nylon 66 resin industry, primarily in automotive
applications
- Other growing nylon 66 resin applications include electronic
applications, film and extrusion coatings.
