growth = strength
DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATES is one of DOMO CHEMICALS’ business units. Throughout theworld the company represents values such as flexibility, speed and production at a high standardof reliability. DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATES is positioning itself dynamically within the marketfor nylon and nylon intermediates, and is actively expanding in the market for polymers andsynthetic materials.
history = motivation
In 1994 the DOMO Group, whose roots lie in the manufacture of carpets, integrated the entireproduction chain from raw materials through to polyamides within its production and operatingsystems. At the same time DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATES commenced its operations at sitesin Leuna and Premnitz. The successful history of the company, which is still quite recent, isbased upon the high level of motivation and many years of experience possessed by its em-ployees. Successful investments and successful business development have led to continiousgrowth of the company. DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATES is ready to face new targets.

DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATESProducts: Phenol, acetone
DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATESProduct: Cumene
PHENOL is produced by the oxidation of cumene using air to form cumene hydroperoxide,which is decomposed catalytically to produce phenol and acetone.
Use
PHENOL is used in the production of: phenolic resins, bisphenol A, adipic acid, plasticisers,antioxidants and aniline as preliminary product in the manufacture of caprolactam.
ACETONE is a by-product of the synthesis of phenol.
Use
ACETONE TECHNICAL GRADE is used as a solvent and as a starting material in the productionof methyl methacrylate, acetone condensation products and bisphenol.ACETONE PHARMA GRADE is used in pharmaceutical industry with highest requirements onquality. A Major part is used as solvent and for syntheses of pharmaceutical products.
CUMENE is produced by the liquid phase alkylation of benzene using propylene. The planterected in 1998 for the manufacture of cumene uses the most modern methods employed withinthe field of chemical engineering, and guarantees a final product that corresponds to the higheststandards of quality.
Use
CUMENE is mainly used for the manufacture of phenol, acetone and organic peroxides.

DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATESProduct: Caprolactam
DOMO NYLON & INTERMEDIATESProduct: Cyclohexanone
CYCLOHEXANONE is produced by the selective gas-phase hydrogenation of phenol. A speciallydeveloped palladium-based catalyst, coupled with highly developed process technology, makeit possible to achieve the manufacture of a product of outstandingly high quality.
Use
CYCLOHEXANONE is the immediate precursor to caprolactam and is used as a solvent in theadhesives and sealants industry. It is also used as a solvent in the paint and dye industry, andis used in organic syntheses and in the manufacture of pesticides.

The synthesis of CAPROLACTAM forms the core of chemical production and manufacture atLeuna. In the traditional process this is achieved by the oximation of cyclohexanone withhydroxylamine sulphate to form cyclohexanoxime, which is changed into caprolactam usingoleum by means of the Beckmann rearrangement.
High-quality CAPROLACTAM is the raw material for our Domamid® products. Integration into thenylon manufacturing chain permits DOMO to have not only continuous access to high-qualitycaprolactam, but also to organic and inorganic preliminary products. A comprehensive systemof quality control and quality assurance throughout all stages of production up to and includingthe final product is an important requirement for all Domamid® products.

In addition to the continuous monitoring of the process and a final examination of additionalparameters concerning the quality of the product, a gas chromatographic analysis, specificallyfor the manufacture of caprolactam, is used to monitor any trends arising during production.This process of inspection makes it possible to identify the nature and the amount of any traceimpurities.
Use
CAPROLACTAM is the starting material for polyamide 6 granulates, for staple fibres, textileyarns, films, compounds, cast polyamides and N-methylcaprolactam.
