Rilsan® Polyamide 11

Continuously developed by Arkema for more than fifty years, Rilsan® is a reference in the world of performance polyamide 11 (nylon 11). Produced from a renewable source (castor oil), Rilsan® is used in a large number of applications thanks to its outstanding properties:

• Excellent resistance to chemicals (particularly hydrocarbons)
• Ease of conversion in all thermoplastic processes
• Wide range of working temperatures [-40°-130°C (40-266°F)]
• High dimensional stability and low density

Rilsan® is easy to process, using most processing technologies, including extrusion, extrusion blow molding, injection molding and rotational molding. Rilsamid® MED polymers can be modified to deliver customized performance such as wide range of color, heat and light stabilization, radiopaque visualization, alloys and blends, plasticizers, lubricants, impact modifiers, reinforced with fibers, nano particles, etc.
