Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a process for producing moldings comprising (A) at least one lactam, (B) at least one activator, and (C) at least one catalyst, where (A) to (C) proceed through treatments comprising a) mixing of (A), (B), and (C), b) metering of (A), (B), and (C) into an apparatus for producing mixture droplets, and producing mixture droplets, and c) depositing the mixture droplets comprising (A), (B), and (C) on a belt, and d) producing moldings.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for producing moldings from a mixture comprising (A) at least one lactam, (B) at least one catalyst, (C) at least one activator, and (D) optionally at least one additional substance, wherein the process proceeds through treatments comprising a) mixing of (A), (B), and (C), b) metering of the mixture into an apparatus for producing mixture droplets comprising (A), (B), and (C) and producing mixture droplets, c) depositing the mixture droplets on a belt, and d) producing moldings, wherein the mixture droplets on the belt in step d) are heated to a temperature from 130 to 250° C. to produce moldings. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the steps a), b), and c) are conducted independently of one another at a temperature which is in the range from the melting point of the highest-melting-point lactam comprised in the mixture to 100° C. above the melting point of the highest-melting-point lactam comprised in the mixture. 3. The process according to claim 1 , where the mixture in droplets which become moldings on the belt in step d) have a residence time of from 20 sec to 20 min on the belt in step d). 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the longest axis of the moldings is in the range from 0.05 to 15 mm and the shortest axis of the moldings is in the range from 0.05 to 15 mm. 5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the molding consists essentially of a polyamide having a weight-average molar mass (Mw) of from 50,000 to 1,000,000 g/mol. 6. A molding produced by the process of claim 1 .
