Ascend Performance Materials, one of the leading producers of hexamethylenediamine, has a market presence across North America and other regions. In May 2016, the company established a new application lab at its Decatur, Alabama facility. The new lab is expected to help the company support its formulated product lines, especially those that are used in the coatings, asphalt, and oil & gas industries. Earlier, in May 2015, the company formed a strategic alliance with Royal DSM (Netherlands) for the supply of compounds based on polyamide 66 (PA66), which is majorly used as a raw material in engineering plastics. This alliance helped both companies cater to the demand of customers in the European region.

Invista is another leading producer of hexamethylenediamine, which is used in the formulation of coatings, epoxy curing agents, petroleum additives, adhesives, inks, scale and corrosion inhibitors, and water treatment chemicals. In October 2016, the company established a Nylon 66 manufacturing facility, at Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP) in China. The facility will also produce 215,000 tons of hexamethylenediamine and 150,000 tons of polymer per year. This expansion is expected to help the company in supplying and supporting the requirements of its customers and in meeting the growing demand for Nylon in Asia.
