INVISTA said the growth in demand for nylon 6,6 resin is driven by trends such as electric vehicles and the Internet of Things, which require engineering plastics that can support electrification and increase complexity in a range of challenging operating conditions. “Over the past few years, market trends have shown a decline in our BCF [bulk continuous filament] product, while demand for polymers has risen,” a company spokesperson said. “The transformation of the plant is a A reflection of this ongoing shift.”

It is reported that INVISTA has 130,000 tons/year of nylon 6,6 resin production capacity in Camden, and another 390,000 tons/year of production capacity is distributed in factories in Canada, the Netherlands and China.
