Caprolactam, produced by DSM Polymer Intermediates, is the raw material for PA6, which gives DSM a unique position as an integrated producer of the material. As a replacement of metal in various applications, Akulon PA6 can offer weight reduction to for instance the automotive industry, resulting in fewer CO2-emissions.
