The article focuses on increase in capacity of caprolactam (CPL) in China and mentions that the capacity of CPL came from chemical firm Fujian Shenyuan New Materials Co. Ltd. Topics discussed include impacts from policies for environmental protection, supply reduction of raw material cyclohexanone, and export proportion of adipic acid.

The article offers information on condition of cyclohexanone sector in China as of 2013 wherein a key to development is industrial chain. It mentions that both the output and capacity of cyclohexanone have increased with the development of downstream sectors. It notes that export volume of cyclohexanone rose to 40000 tons in 2011 due to the growing demand from Korea and Japan.

The article presents an update for the caprolactam (CPL) market in China. It is said that China had 12 caprolactam (CPL) producers as of the end of 2014, with a total capacity of 2 350 kt/a. The number of CPL producers and their capacity have both grown rapidly in recent years. In China, CPL is used for manufacturing PA6 fibers and PA6 engineering plastics.

The article discusses performance of the Chinese caprolactam industry in 2012. Various indicators discussed includes increased capacity, distribution and demand. Statistics that lists production, supply, demand and capacity of caprolactam are also presented. Various new companies that entered in the market includes Luxi Chemical Group Co. Ltd., Xuyang Jiaohua Group and Sinopec Baling Petrochemical Co. Ltd.

The article discusses the state of the caprolactam (CPL) industry in China. It has informed that the fastest growth of CPL capacity is expected to be held in China. It is informed that average annual output growth of the industry during the period 2005 to 2011 was 253% in the nation. It is informed that despite this increase, it is unable to meet growing demand of CPL from industries like nylon polymerization and engineering plastics.

The article discusses the short supply of long-chain dicarboxylic acids in China. It cites that output of long-chain dicarboxylic acids by chemical synthesis is always very low due to the limitations of the complex production process. It refers to the aliphatic dicarboxylic acids with carbon chains of more than 10 carbon atoms, and used for perfume synthesis, engineering plastics, and nylon fibers. China's major long-chain dicarboxylic acid producers include Zibo Guangtong Chemical Co. Ltd.
