NileRed | Making nylon plastic @NileRed | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 12 hours ago
In this video, I'll be making nylon 6,6 again, but I will be doing it the "industrial" way.

Instead of turning the adipic acid first into adipoyl chloride, I react it directly with hexamethylene diamine to make a nylon 6,6 salt. Then using heat, I force the salt to polymerize.
