Rilsamid® MED Polyamide 12
Foster is an authorized distribution partner for Rilsamid® MED Polyamide 12 (nylon 12) in North America. Rilsamid® polymers are easy to process, using most processing technologies, including extrusion, extrusion blow molding, injection molding and rotational molding.
Continuously developed by Arkema for more than fifty years, Rilsamid® is a reference in the world of performance nylons. Produced from a renewable source (castor oil), Rilsamid® is used in a large number of applications thanks to its outstanding properties:
- Excellent resistance to chemicals (particularly hydrocarbons)
- Wide range of working temperatures [-40°-130°C (40-266°F)]
- High dimensional stability and low density
Rilsamid® polymers are 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 fillers, plasticizers, lubricants, impact modifiers, reinforcing fibers, nano particles, etc.
Available Medical Grades:
