DSM Research, Geleen, the Netherlands, and Shell Chemicals, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, are jointly working on a DSM-sponsored project aimed at the development of a novel caprolactam route based on butadiene.DSM 1. DSM - Data Structure Manager. An object-oriented language by J.E. Rumbaugh and M.E. Loomis of GE, similar to C++. It is used in implementation of CAD/CAE software. DSM is written in DSM and C and produces C as output. Research, Geleen, the Netherlands, and Shell Chemicals, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, are jointly working on a DSM-sponsored project aimed at the development of a novel caprolactam Caprolactam is an organic compound which is a cyclic amide (or lactam). The primary industrial use of caprolactam is as a monomer in the production of nylon. Most of the caprolactam is synthesised from cyclohexanoxime by a Beckmann rearrangement. route based on butadiene. Caprolactam is the basic material for polyamide polyamide material used in the creation of nonabsorbable, synthetic, nylon sutures. 6 (Nylon-6) used in textile, tires and carpet yarns, as well as high-performance construction materials. The process, called DSM Altam, is based on butadiene and carbon monoxide carbon monoxide, chemical compound, CO, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely poisonous gas that is less dense than air under ordinary conditions. It is very slightly soluble in water and burns in air with a characteristic blue flame, producing carbon dioxide; and is said to further increase the competitive position of caprolactam and Nylon-6 versus other materials. |
