ARKEMA (PLA)

Arkema, based in Colombe (France), manufactures high-quality products in the fields of High Performance Materials, Industrial Specialties and Coating Solutions and employs around 20,000 people. We at Dolder-Bigler have been Arkema’s proud partner for many years for the distribution of KYNAR® fluoropolymers, RILSAN® polyamides as well as PEBAX® polyether block amides.

These products are available in following countries: Austria, Germany and Switzerland. In CEE and Italy all except KYNAR.

KYNAR® PVDF and flexible copolymers are known for their balance between ease of processing and tremendous strength and durability.

RILSAN® high performance polyamides deliver toughness, flexibility, chemical resistance, and permeation resistance. RILSAN® grades are bio-based.

RILSAN® CLEAR TRANSPARENT POLYAMIDES

RILSAN® CLEAR are lightweight, flexible, chemically resistant polyamides that are easy to process.

• Ultra light weight
• High transparency
• Chemical and mechanical resistance

The RILSAMID® range of polymers are derived mainly from Butadiene / fossil fuels. They are available in a wide range of natural, pigmented, filled, plasticized, or reinforced compounds.

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 properties and flexibility – especially at lower temperatures
• Outstanding abrasion resistance
• Tremendous resistance to stress cracking

ORGALLOY® polyamide alloys combine the important physical and chemical properties of short-chain polyamides with the economic and process advantages of polyolefins. They are designed to offer improved dimensional stability, lower density and better mechanical properties than PA 6 and PA 6.6 resins.

YOUR BENEFITS

• Low density
• Dimensional stability
• Constant mechanical properties after moisture recovery
• Chemical resistance
• Barrier properties
• Thermal resistance
• Compatibility with other polymers
• Easy processing & high productivity
