Making nylon plastic

In this video, I'll be making nylon 6,6 again, but I will be doing it the "industrial" way. Instead of turning the adipic acid first into adipoyl chloride, I react it directly with hexamethylene diamine to make a nylon 6,6 salt. Then using heat, I force the salt to polymerize.
