POLYAMIDES FORMED FROM META-XYLYLENEDIAMINE AND ADIPIC ACID AND HAVING AN AMINO END GROUP CONTENT OF LESS THAN 15 MMOL/KG

摘要

The present invention relates to novel and improved polyamides composed of meta-xylylenediamine and having an amino end group content of less than 15 mmol/kg. Also found have been processes for preparing these polyamides composed of meta-xylylenediamine and adipic acid and having an amino end group content of less than 15 mmol/kg, which comprises reacting salt solutions of adipic acid and m-xylylenediamine at temperatures of from 80 to 300° C. and a pressure of from 1 to 20 bar with removal of water.
