When it comes to the most demanding applications in the chemical process industry, fluoropolymers are famous for their tremendous chemical resistance and overall durability. Kynar®PVDF has the best balance of mechanical properties and melt processability among all the fluoropolymers. Semi-rigid, flexible and highly flexible grades are available
Design engineers all over the world know it by name – Kynar® PVDF. The brand is synonymous with quality, purity and performance.
Typical applications include stock shapes (machinable rods and sheets), tubing, molding, piping, tower packing, filters and compounds for many of the following.
Flagship Rilsan® PA11 and Complementary Resins & Alloys
Arkema offers a selection of Rilsan® S (PA610) and Rilsan® T (PA1010) grades and Tieflex alloys. We also offer a portfolio of petroleum based alternatives under the Rilsamid® and Orgalloy® brand names.
For decades, Rilsan polymers have proven themselves in some of the world’s most demanding applications. Giant flexible subsea oil production lines and underbody automotive fuel lines are just two examples requiring an unmatched combination of extreme performance properties.
Rilsan® Clear polymers are more transparent than glass, substantially lighter than competitive transparent polymers like polycarbonate or PMMA, optionally ‘partially-biobased’ and are flexible. They are BPA and BPS free. Certain grades are NSF 51 approved for food and beverage applications.
Typical applications include eyewear frames, impact resistant lenses, transparent fuel filter housing, appliance tubing, and breathing masks.
