The invention relates to the technical field of
high polymer materials, in particular to a preparation method of nylon 46, which comprises four steps of salifying, primary
polymerization, pre-
polymerization and
solid-phase tackifying, in the salifying stage, 100 parts by weight of
adipic acid and 800-1000 parts by weight of
methanol are added into a salifying kettle, the temperature is raised to 40-60 DEG C, 55-60 parts by weight of 1, 4-butanediamine is added into the salifying kettle, and the mixture is heated to 40-60 DEG C; at the same time, maintaining the temperature at 40-60 DEG C to react for 2-3 hours, cooling to 20-30 DEG C, discharging the material in the salifying kettle, and filtering and
drying in vacuum to obtain nylon 46 salt; in the initial
polymerization stage, nylon 46 salt reacts with water at 180-210 DEG C, the water amount of a
reaction system is controlled to maintain a
liquid state, in the pre-polymerization stage, a
continuous reaction mode is adopted to remove
moisture, pre-
polymer particles are obtained through bracing and
pelletizing, and finally the high-
viscosity nylon 46
polymer is obtained through
solid-phase tackifying. The method can be used in the fields of machinery, automobiles,
electronics, electrical appliances,
aviation and
aerospace industries and the like.
