high performance polymers

These thermoplastic elastomers combine soft elastomer and rigid polyamide segments, which enables a wide range of physical and mechanical properties. They are plasticizer-free, melt-processable and certified in accordance with USP Class VI and ISO 10993.

Rilsan® polymers are flexible polyamides made from castor oil with a specific weight of 1.03, 15% lighter than nylon 6. They offer excellent stretchability, low moisture absorption and replace glass or metal in medical applications.

FKZM MED is a highly glass-filled advanced polymer with engineering-grade properties, made from bio-based polyamide 11. It offers excellent physical properties, biocompatibility, steam sterilizability, chemical resistance, processability, a wide color range, and great aesthetics.

Rilsan® Clear grades (G170, G850) are polyamides that combine transparency, low weight and flexibility. More transparent than glass and more flexible than polycarbonate, ideal for respiratory masks and hearing aids.

Rilsamid® polymers, flexible polyamides made from hydrocarbons, have the lowest density (1.01) of all polyamides. They offer excellent formability, low moisture absorption and are suitable for extrusion and injection molding.

The thermoplastically processable fluoropolymer Kynar® offers excellent chemical resistance, high purity, thermal stability, low friction, high tensile strength as well as gas and radiation resistance. USP class VI certified, sterilizable via gamma or steam.

Aromatic thermoplastic polyurethanes are available in polyether and polyester grades. Continuous production ensures consistency with Shore hardness of 75A to 70D. Some grades have been successfully tested according to USP Class VI.

Semi-crystalline, semi-aromatic polyamide made from meta-xylene diamine offers higher mechanical strength than nylon 6/6, lower moisture absorption and improved gas barrier properties, ideal for packaging.
