Summary
Goldwin, Neste, Idemitsu Kosan, and Toray have formed a partnership to build a supply chain for nylon fiber made from renewable raw materials. Neste will supply its Neste RE feedstock, enabling production of high-performance renewable nylon and reducing reliance on fossil inputs across the value chain.

What do you see as the biggest hurdle to mainstream adoption of renewable nylon—cost, performance, or supply chain certification and scale?

Goldwin Inc., Neste Corp. (Espoo, Finland), Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. (Tokyo) and Toray Industries, Inc. (Tokyo) have established a supply chain for nylon fiber made from renewable raw materials. Neste supplies Neste RE, a renewable raw material that enables the production of high-performance renewable nylon fiber and reduces the reliance on fossil feedstocks. The nylon fiber produced […]

Is this via mass-balance accounting at the cracker (ISCC+) or truly segregated renewable caprolactam/adipic acid all the way to the spinneret? For engineers speccing parts, do you have data showing the same moisture uptake, creep, abrasion, and hydrocarbon resistance as standard PA6/PA66, and can it run as a drop-in on existing molding/extrusion temps?
