Nylon Corporation of America (NYCOA) Announces Start-Up of Third Reactor for Specialty Nylons
New Polymerization Line Is Part of Company's Strategic Shift to Long-Chain Nylons and Copolymers
MANCHESTER, N.H., October 08, 2025 – Nylon Corporation of America, Inc. (NYCOA), a leading manufacturer of engineered nylon resins, has announced the start-up of a third reactor for the production of specialty nylons at its existing Manchester, NH headquarters facility. The new polymerization line is expected to double capacity for NYCOA’s long-chain nylons and copolymers.
NYCOA’s expansion is part of a multi-phase business strategy to boost batch reactor capacity for specialty nylons including long-chain nylons and copolymers. NYCOA, a domestic supplier of nylon 6 and 6-based copolymers and compounds for wire and cable and filament extrusion since 1957, is undergoing a growth transformation by taking its material development and manufacturing know-how to a new level. The new capacity, which complements expansions in continuous nylon 6 production in Manchester, ensures a dedicated future supply of these new long-chain nylons for a range of markets including transportation, industrial, and sporting goods. The last phase of this capacity growth strategy will be a fourth reactor, also in Manchester, that is 75% complete and expected to start up in late 2026.
“This new production capability in specialty nylons expands our portfolio and enables us to meet a range of opportunities in the domestic market,” said Monica Kumar, President of NYCOA. “These new assets will ensure a dedicated supply to our customers.”
In alignment with its growing batch reactor production capability, the company will continue to expand its specialty nylon material offering with new product platforms such as NXTamid T™ nylon 6,12 and 6,10 grades, NY-Clear ™ amorphous 6i/6t nylon for food packaging and automotive, and NXTamid L™, which meets or exceeds the performance of nylon 12 and nylon 11 in many applications and offers a broad range of customization options. Rounding out the long-chain nylon offering is the NY-Flex® line, a polyether block amide (PEBA) copolymer with key uses in footwear, medical, and sports equipment.
