One of the most famous natural polyamides is silk, which silkworms produce from mulberry leaves. The process we use to make polyamide – better known as nylon, of which we are a leading supplier – has the advantage of also making available many other valuable chemicals and intermediates.

All our high-purity chemicals and intermediates are available to our customers and serve as excellent raw materials for a wide variety of industrial applications. Like our nylon polymers, the products strongly benefit from our high level of vertical integration and the fully quality control this gives us over the entire production pathway.

When sourcing from DOMO, customers can not only trust in receiving exceptional quality with a low level of impurities but also a continuous supply with first-rate service.

Our Hexamethylenediamine, Adipic Acid and Caprolactam are central elements of DOMO’s production and used by many of our customers for their own nylon polymerization. Their high purity is ensured by meticulous testing. 

Our cyclohexanone is produced with a special palladium-based catalyst and advanced process technology that provides consistent high quality. It can be used as a precursor for caprolactam or other organic intermediates, as a solvent in many applications, as well as in the production of pesticides.

Starting from benzene, the first part of the synthesis produces cumene, phenol, acetone, acetophenone and alpha-methylstyrene. Obtained at the beginning of the caprolactam synthesis route, these high-purity intermediates and chemicals can be used to make plastics, solvents and a wide range of other useful products and compounds.

Our acetone is available both in a technical grade and one that complies with pharma requirements for use as excipient, and the outstanding quality of the cumene we produce is ensured by state-of-the-art technology based on zeolite catalysts. All products come with complete documentation and are shipped according the highest safety standards.

A valuable byproduct of caprolactam synthesis, this inorganic salt is mainly used as a fertilizer for crop production. We offer it in a naturally non-caking special grade ensuring wide dispersibility in the field, as well as in an industrial grade with anti-caking agent that can be used for many processes, from the production of experimental yeast cultures to making flame retardants.

A bacteriostatic agent is introduced into the polymeric matrix, creating a long-lasting effect to protect the fibers and inhibit the growth of bacteria while maintaining all the standard characteristics of polyamide 66 fibers like comfort, mechanical resistance and durability.

Thanks to this technology, we have better control over the level of bioactivity​ and the bacteriostatic properties, which are resistant to washing as the agent cannot wash out.

NYLEO® SAFE features a powerful and compliant solution of silver-based ions. Silver is widely used for human contact applications and is known to be effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms that cause odor, discoloration, biofouling and other aesthetic problems.

According to laboratory tests under the best standards, over 99.99% of bacteria are inhibited with bacteriostatic fiber on pure polyamide 6.6 fabrics  after 24 hours of contact with bacteria like staphylococcus aureus or klebsiella pneumoniae.

NYLEO® SAFE provides a proven, long-lasting effect even after 100 washing cycles, and a significant effect with a 20% blend of NYLEO® SAFE fiber with other non-treated fibers.

The pollution generated by the textile industry has a huge impact on the planet. 

According to the Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation, more than 70% of end-of-life clothing is landfilled or incinerated. Based on this observation, DOMO has developed NYLEO® 4EARTH®, using the Amni Soul Eco® technology* from the Solvay Group, which demonstrates enhanced biodegradation when landfilled. In anaerobic landfills, its unique composition allows bacteria to gain access to and digest the waste materials, thus accelerating the biodegradation process. 

*Amni Soul Eco® technology is part of a new generation of sustainable fibers manufactured using environmentally-friendly processes. 

NYLEO® 4EARTH is the right choice for both the environment and your products. By offering enhanced biodegradability to safeguard the environment while maintaining all the standard characteristics of polyamide 6.6, including durability, long life, high tenacity, soft touch and abrasion resistance, it’s the optimal solution for your final applications.

Whether it is spinning, drawing, knitting, dyeing or finishing, NYLEO® 4EARTH® can undergo many types of processing and is the perfect solution to create high-quality and eco-friendly products respecting the environment.

NYLEO® 4EARTH® reduces the environmental impact of polyamide fiber based-products to levels never before achieved.  

As demonstrated by independent laboratory biodegradation tests in accordance with D5511-12 (anaerobic - high solids biodegradability), NYLEO® EARTH® fibers biodegrade in around five years when disposed of in landfills, compared to more than 50 years for traditional polyamide 6.6 fibers. ​ 

Like other biodegradable products, once landfilled, NYLEO® 4EARTH® polyamide 6.6 fiber with enhanced biodegradability breaks down into organic matter (biomass) and biogas (methane). ​ 

Within five years, more than 90% of the fiber is converted into biogas, with the remainder as biomass residues.​ Moreover, in well controlled landfills, methane is not released directly into the atmosphere, but burned or reused for power generation.

DOMO’s goal with NYLEO® 4EARTH® is to provide sustainable and added-value solutions for the textile, flock, nonwovens and carpet markets which are increasingly mindful of production ethics and eco-sustainable approaches.  

To be more sustainable, manufacturers will need to redesign production to make it easier to manage the end-of-life of products and waste.

The revolutionary NYLEO® 4EARTH® technology provides a new industrial perspective reducing to a minimum the impact on nature and making the world a better place for future generations.
