A Famous Polyamide 12 Brand

To complement their world famous Rilsan® polyamide 11 polymers, Arkema is also a major producer of polyamide 12 polymers, marketed under the Rilsamid® name. Rilsamid® PA12 polymers are known for the following performance properties:

* Easy to process in standard equipment (extrusion, injection molding etc.)
* Very lightweight – helps improve fuel economy in cars, trucks, planes; Lighter weight also translates into lower usage rates and cost savings on a volumetric basis
* Excellent noise dampening, elimination of vibrations
* Very good chemical resistance
* Low water absorption – much better dimensional stability than lower polyamides (PA 6 or PA66 for example)
* Outstanding impact properties1 and flexibility – especially at lower temperatures
* Outstanding abrasion resistance2
* Tremendous resistance to stress cracking1,2 Rilsan® PA11 polymers typically demonstrate far better impact and abrasion properties.
Rilsamid® polymers are available globally in a wide range of natural, pigmented, filled, plasticized, or reinforced compounds.
