The present invention relates to a composition that can be used to manufacture an impermeable, sealing, tight envelope, to a process for manufacturing an impermeable envelope, and to a tank. The composition of the invention comprises in % by weight relative to the total weight of the composition: from 70 to 90% of a monomer (I); from 0.1 to 1% of an activator (II), in which R is chosen from the group comprising CnH2n+2, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10; —OH; —OCn H2n+2, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10; and —NHR′ where R′ is either CnH2n+2, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10, or an amine functional group; from 2 to 6% of a catalyst (III), in which X is chosen from the group comprising MgBr, MgI, Li and Na; and from 10 to 20% of an additive (IV), with: This composition can be used, for example, to manufacture elements that are impermeable to fluids, for example impermeable envelopes, for example that can be used in the manufacture of type IV tanks or hydraulic accumulators.

1. A process of manufacturing an impermeable element comprising the following steps: (a) providing a composition comprising in % by weight relative to the total weight of the composition: from 70 to 90% of an ε-caprolactam monomer of formula (I);from 0.1 to 1% of an ε-caprolactam activator of formul
1. A process of manufacturing an impermeable element comprising the following steps: (a) providing a composition comprising in % by weight relative to the total weight of the composition: from 70 to 90% of an ε-caprolactam monomer of formula (I);from 0.1 to 1% of an ε-caprolactam activator of formula (II), in which R is selected from the group consisting of CnH2n+1, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10; —OH; —OCnH2n+1, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10; and —NHR′ where R′ is either CnH2n+1, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10, or an amine functional group;from 2 to 6% of an ε-caprolactam catalyst of formula (III), in which X is chosen from the group consisting of MgBr, MgI, Li and Na; andfrom 10 to 20% of an ε-caprolactone additive of formula (IV);wherein the formulae (I), (II), (III) and (IV) are the following: and introducing said composition to a rotomould;(b) rotation of the rotomould and anionic polymerization of the ε-caprolactam monomer of said composition to polycaprolactam, said composition being heated to a polymerization temperature greater than or equal to the melting point of the ε-caprolactam and less than the melting point of said polycaprolactam, thereby forming said element by rotomoulding coupled with polymerization without melting of the polycaprolactam obtained;(c) crystallization of the polycaprolactam obtained; and(d) demoulding the polycaprolactum liner formed in the rotomould. 2. The process of claim 1, wherein, in step (a), at least the ε-caprolactam monomer and the ε-caprolactam catalyst of said composition are purged by means of a dry inert gas. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein, in step (a), two premixes of said composition are prepared, one containing the monomer, the activator and the additive, and the other containing the monomer and the catalyst, these two premixes being mixed together just before, during their introduction, or into the rotomould to form said composition. 4. The process of claim 1, wherein, in step (a), the composition is additionally preheated to a preheating temperature greater than or equal to the melting point of said monomer and less than said polymerization temperature, before or after the introduction step (b) so as to melt the composition and homogenize it. 5. The process of claim 1, wherein the rotomould is purged by means of a dry inert gas during the implementation of step (c). 6. The process of claim 1, wherein the rotomould is rotated about two axes, so that the polymerization takes place over an entire internal surface of the rotomould provided to form the element and conform to the internal surface. 7. The process of claim 1, wherein polymerizing the ε-caprolactam monomer to polycaprolactam in the rotomould is carried out at a polymerization temperature of between 150° C. to 200° C. 8. The process of claim 1, wherein steps (a), (b), and (c) are repeated to form an impermeable element having several layers of polycaprolactam that are identical or different, in thickness and/or in composition. 9. The process of claim 1, wherein a tank socket is attached to the inside of the rotomould before carrying out step (c) whereby the tank socket is incorporated into the impermeable element during the polymerization. 10. The process of claim 1, wherein the impermeable element manufactured thereby consists of an impermeable envelope. 11. The process of claim 10, wherein the impermeable envelope manufactured thereby is impermeable to pressurized fluids. 12. The process of claim 10, wherein the impermeable envelope manufactured thereby is impermeable to gases of a composite type IV tank. 13. A process for manufacturing an impermeable element comprising polymerizing and moulding a composition comprising in % by weight relative to the total weight of the composition: from 70 to 90% of an ε-caprolactam monomer of formula (I);from 0.1 to 1% of an ε-caprolactam activator of formula (II), in which R is selected from the group consisting of CnH2n+1, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10; —OH; —OCnH2n+1, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10; and —NHR′ where R′ is either CnH2n+1, n being an integer chosen from 1 to 10, or an amine functional group;from 2 to 6% of an ε-caprolactam catalyst of formula (III), in which X is chosen from the group consisting of MgBr, MgI, Li and Na; andfrom 10 to 20% of an ε-caprolactone additive of formula (IV);wherein the formulae (I), (II), (III) and (IV) are the following: 14. The process of claim 13, wherein the impermeable element is an impermeable envelope.
