What does nylon 6 decompose into when heated?
It's over my head, but Shaw's Type 6 gasifier is discussed here.
Hope that helps.

Heated below the ignition point or burned? Burning at low temperature (smokey black flame) or combusted in a furnace? Temperature makes a big difference here.

Also found stuff about controlled thermal decomposition (catalytic pyrolysis) being used to recover caprolactam, the raw material for nylon 6, and a bunch of stuff about how flame retardants, copolymers etc. affect decomposition/combustion, try searching around stuff like thermal decomposition, decomposition products, thermal breakdown + nylon 6.
