Pelargolactam | Premium Nylon 9 Specialty Monomer | CAS 512-12-9
Overview
Pelargolactam, scientifically known as Nonanelactam or Azacyclodecan-2-one, is an elite 10-membered ring cyclic amide. As an ultra-premium long-chain lactam, it serves as the exclusive monomer for the ring-opening polymerization of Polyamide 9 (Nylon 9 / PA9). By significantly reducing the amide bond density along the polymer backbone, Pelargolactam yields a highly sophisticated engineering plastic characterized by near-zero moisture absorption, exceptional dielectric properties, and unparalleled dimensional stability under extreme environmental stress.
Product Description
Pelargolactam, scientifically known as Nonanelactam, is an elite 10-membered ring cyclic amide. As an ultra-premium long-chain lactam, it serves as the exclusive monomer for the ring-opening polymerization of Polyamide 9 (Nylon 9 / PA9). By significantly reducing the amide bond density along the polymer backbone, Pelargolactam yields a highly sophisticated engineering plastic characterized by near-zero moisture absorption, exceptional dielectric properties, and unparalleled dimensional stability under extreme environmental stress.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2011, we supply bulk volumes of High-Purity Pelargolactam (≥ 99.0%) to the world's most advanced polymer research institutes and top-tier specialty plastics compounders. Shipped globally as completely safe Non-Dangerous Goods, our Pelargolactam is meticulously packaged under strict moisture-barrier protocols, empowering your reactors to synthesize premium PA9 polymers.
For high-viscosity PA9 polymerization and demanding 5G telecommunication extrusions, strict control of trace moisture is essential. Typical specifications:
| Purity (Pelargolactam) | ≥ 99.0% |
|---|---|
| Moisture / Water | ≤ 0.1% |
| Color (APHA, 50% solution) | ≤ 30 |
| Melting Point | 71°C - 74°C |
- Nylon 9 (PA9) Polymerization: Synthesized into PA9 chips, unlocking a new echelon of dimensional stability and electrical insulation properties compared to traditional shorter-chain nylons.
- Precision 5G & EV Components: Injection-molded into radomes and high-voltage EV electrical connectors where near-zero water absorption is mandatory to maintain stable dielectric constants.
- High-Performance Extrusion: Extruded into highly durable, chemical-resistant wire insulation for aerospace and deep-sea umbilical cables.
- Complex Intermediates: Utilized as a specialized building block in organic synthesis.
In high-frequency 5G telecommunications and Electric Vehicle (EV) power systems, traditional nylons fail because their high moisture absorption severely disrupts electrical resistance and dielectric stability. By upgrading to Pelargolactam, you synthesize Polyamide 9. The ultra-long 9-carbon aliphatic chain drastically suppresses moisture uptake while maintaining high thermal stability. This allows you to mold electronic connectors and antenna housings that deliver absolutely flawless signal transmission and electrical safety, regardless of extreme ambient humidity.
Because Pelargolactam is a high-value, hygroscopic monomer, we utilize premium barrier packaging for secure global transit:
- 25 KG UN-approved Fiber Drums with thick double-layered PE inner liners (Tightly sealed to ensure zero moisture ingress).
- 25 KG Multi-wall Kraft paper bags with heavy-duty PE inner liners.

FAQ
Q1: What documents and certifications do you provide?
A Standard shipment includes COA (Certificate of Analysis) and MSDS (SDS). We also provide ISO 9001 certification and support third-party inspections like SGS or BV upon request.
Q2: Do you provide custom synthesis or formulation services?
A Yes. If you have specific purity requirements or a unique formulation, our R&D team can provide custom synthesis and adjust the stabilizers/inhibitors to meet your technical specifications.
Q3: What are your terms of payment?
A
For Orders ≤ $1,000: 100% in advance.
For Orders > $1,000: 30% T/T in advance, and the balance before shipment or against the copy of B/L. Irrevocable L/C at sight is also acceptable for bulk orders.
Q4: How long is your price valid?
A Chemical prices fluctuate due to the changes in raw material costs and exchange rates. Please contact our sales team for the latest real-time quotation.
Q5: What packaging and shipping ports are available?
A
We normally ship from Qingdao, Shanghai, or Ningbo.
