Method of production of cast polyamides

1. A method of production of cast polyamides comprising:

adding an activator, in an amount of up to 5 wt %, to a first lactam melt at temperatures between 70 and 120° C., whereby an activator mixture is formed and homogenized, isolated after production, and optionally pelletized on a pelletizing belt or flaked on a flaking roll;

adding a catalyst in an amount of up to 5 wt % to a second lactam melt at temperatures between 70 and 120° C., whereby a catalyst mixture is formed and homogenized and pelletized on a pelletizing belt or flaked on a flaking roll, and

subsequently melting and mixing together said activator mixure and said catalyst mixture, thereby forming a melt mixture, and

polymerized the melt mixture in a mould at temperatures between 80 and 160° C.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first lactam or the second lactom corresponds to general formula

where R represents an alkylene group with 3 to 13 carbon atoms.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the activator comprises at least one isocyanate, isocyanurate, biuret, allophanate, uretdione and/or carbodiimid.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in catalyst comprises at least one lactam-magnesium halide, alkali-alumo dilactamate, alkali-metal and/or alkaline-earth-metal lactamate.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second lactam and/or catalyst is added prior to melting.
