O.Z. 31,765, ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improved process for the continuous polymerization of .epsilon.-caprolactam in the presence of water as initiator in a vertical downward-flow tubular reactor, in which the .epsilon.-caprolactam is partially polymerized at elevated temperature in a first mechanically agi-, tated reaction zone and is further polymerized in further reaction zones to the desired degree of polymerization. Poly-.epsilon.-caprolactam is discharged in the form of a melt. The polymerization is carried out at a gauge pressure of from 0.2 to 0.9 bar constant in all, reaction zones. The temperature in the first reaction zone is from 260 to 295°C whilst obeying the condition t …
