- Application Information
- Addonyl® 8108 is used as an activator during the production of Cast Nylon (PA-6 G). In combination with the catalyst Addonyl® Kat NL
- Use
- The reactivity of the polymerizing melt is influenced by various factors. Recommended an activator concentration of at least 0.5 % by weight. The quantity of the activator to be used, however, decisively depends on the size and form of the casting mold. Addonyl® 8108 is easily soluble in molten caprolactam. The caprolactam melt containing the activator is susceptible to oxidation. Thus, we recommend working under inert gas.

Safety & Health
- Safety Precautions
A receiving inspection is recommended. In moist conditions, with the formation of carbondioxide, Addonyl® 8108 converts to a solid, high-melting and insoluble polyurea.
