BEIJING - China will prolong its anti-dumping probe into imports of caprolactam, a widely used synthetic polymer, from the European Union and the United States, for six months, said the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) Friday.

The probe then will end on October 22, 2011, half a year later from the previous deadline of April 22, said a statement on the MOC website.

The postponement was made because the case was relatively "special" and "complicated," said the statement.

The MOC launched an anti-dumping investigation into caprolactam from the European Union and the United States on April 22, 2010.

Caprolactam is the precursor to Nylon 6 and is a widely used synthetic polymer.
