RILSAMID™ PA12

Product overview:
For over 40 years, Rilsamid® polyamide 12 resin fulfills the highest standards thanks to its combination of physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Rilsamid® PA12 resin is particulary well suited for different processing technologies: extrusion, injection, and blow-moulding processes.

PA12 Rilsamid™ properties
The properties of semi crystalline polyamides are determined by the concentration of amide groups in the macromolecule. This is lower in Rilsamid™ PA 12 than in all other commercially available polyamides, which accounts for its special properties:

• Minimal water absorption: moulded parts show almost no dimensional changes with variation in atmospheric humidity
• Extraordinarily high impact resistance and Charpy notched impact strength, even well below freezing point
• Good to excellent resistance to greases, oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and many solvents as well as to salt solutions and other chemicals
• Excellent resistance to stress cracking, even for metal parts encapsulated by injection moulding or embedded into the plastic
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Low dry sliding friction coefficient as compared with steel, polybutylene terephthalate, polyacetal, and other materials
• Noise and vibration damping properties
• Excellent resistance to fatigue caused by frequent load change
• Easy processability
