RILSAN (Polyamide 11, PA11)
High-performance polyamide 11 made from 100% plant-derived carbon: high-performance polyamide based on PA11 (Nylon 11).
By pressing the seeds of "castor bean," which can be cultivated even in barren land where edible plants do not grow, we can obtain "castor oil." Arkema synthesizes 11-aminoundecanoic acid (PA11 monomer) by chemically processing castor oil and is the only company in the world that manufactures and sells polyamide 11 (PA11, nylon 11) under the brand name Rilsan. Rilsan has obtained the biomass mark established by the Japan Organic Resources Association and has been certified as biomass plastic by the Japan Bioplastics Association, being listed on the positive list. Rilsan (PA11) has good crystallinity, making it significantly superior in "chemical resistance," "impact resistance," and "thermal degradation resistance" compared to PA12 (nylon 12), which has similar properties. Due to the following excellent characteristics, Rilsan has been used in various applications for over 60 years: - Low density (1.03) - Abrasion resistance and scratch resistance - Wide temperature range (-40°C to 150°C) - Weather resistance - Excellent mechanical strength - Heat resistance - Flexibility - Molding processability - Chemical resistance - Low water absorption rate
