Solution 1
When epsilon (ε)-caprolactam is heated with water at high temperature it undergoes ring opening polymerization to give the polyamide polymer called nylon 6.

Solution 2
It is made by polymerizing the monomer caprolactum, which is derived from the petrochemical cyclohexane. The procedure is followed as follows.
Nylon-6 filaments are created by melt-spinning the polymer. A stream of air cools the fibers as molten polymer is pushed through a spinneret.
