The Nylon-6 Promotional Group (NPG-6) is an international group of companies that are active in the Nylon-6 industry, ranging from raw materials to fibres, textiles, engineering plastics, film and dedicated equipment. Nylon-6 is a dynamic, exciting and incredibly versatile material. This high performance polymer is unrivalled in its number of applications, including textiles, carpets, industrial fibres, engineering plastics and film. NPG-6 provides information about the value and performance of Nylon-6 in its many uses.

The activities of NPG-6:

• Promotion of Nylon-6
• Provide a global networking platform
• Conduct market surveys & application studies
• Stimulate business chain cooperation and developments
• Increase knowledge

That sums it up, I really think that the NPG-6 site has added value for the visitors of the wikipedia-Nylon-6 page. Could you please put the link back?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcsys (talk • contribs)

I have read your request, I will wait for some more responses. My opinion: an external link to the page about nylon 6 on nylon-6 and caprolactam could be useful. Not to the homepage of NPG-6. (Copied from the talk page of user:Mcsys). --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 13:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I am doing a report on carcinogenics, and this came up as a Group 4 carcinogenic. Group 4 is the group of agents that is not known to cause cancers. What's up with the toxicity, then? Chemstudent17 01:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)Chemstudent17

Relationship to caproic acid

Would it be correct to state that caprolactam is a "Cyclic amide of caproic acid"? e.g. per http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=7768 (this is presumed to be another way of saying that it is a lactam of 6-aminohexanoic acid (ε-aminohexanoic acid))—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.178.232 (talk • contribs)

I'd prefer the latter (the lactam of 6-aminohexanoic acid), caproic acid is hexanoic acid, which to me sounds odd/misleading to call that the 'open form' of caprolactam. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 10:52, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Cyclohexanone oxime redirection?

Cyclohexanone oxime is not caprolactam - why is cyclohexanone oxime redirected to this page? Can this be remedied? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.118.158.164 (talk) 01:19, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Probably not a carcinogen

At the bottom is Carcinogen state=collapsed, but it is classified in group 4, not 3, 2b, 2a, or 1. This could mislead readers into thinking it is probably carcinogenic when it is probably not. Talib1101 (talk) 17:43, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
