Kunststoffe international, 2005-11-21, Lignin - Tailor-made
...wly Polyamide 11 lignin compounds were produced on a Werner and Pfleiderer ZSK 25 laboratory extruder with an L/D ratio of 42 at 200°C. The residence time was about 60 s at an output of 5 kg/h and a speed of 200 rpm. The polyamide used was Rilsan B MF20 from Atofina, while the lignin was abaca granite lignin (see Table 1). In Figures 2 and 3, the mechanical properties of polyamide 11 (Tm = 185°C) compounds are plotted against the lignin content (abaca lignin, Tm = 150°C). Significan...

...c elastomers (Pebax Rnew) with a 20 to 90% renewable carbon content. Arkema has been a global market leader in C11-w-amino acid chemistry for 60 years and uses a unique chemical of vegetable origin – castor oil – to produce Rilsan PA11 (Fig.1). This natural vegetable oil is obtained from an inedible and non-genetically modified useful plant and therefore is not in competition with food production. The use of castor-oil-based raw materials in this product range reduces demand for fossil energy an...

Kunststoffe international, 2010-09-24, Systematic Metal Substitution
The polyphthalamide Rilsan HT is a new member of the polyamide 11 (Rilsan PA11) and polyamide 12 (Rilsan PA12) family of engineering polymers from Arkema. Polyamide 11, which is derived 100 % from renewable vegetable feedstock (or oil), and polyamide 12 have been used for decades as a metal substitute in the automotive industry. Rilsan PA11 is already established for flexible high-temperature applications, such as biodiesel fuel lines or brake booster tubing, up to150°C. In order to extend metal...

...e polymers that are partly or wholly produced from renewable raw materials and biodegradable. At K2010, different polymer producers showcased new developments in polyamides based on or oil (Fig. 5). Important producers include Arkema (Rilsan, PA11), BASF (Ultramid Balance, PA610), DSM (EcoPaXX, PA410), DuPont (Zytel RS, PA610 and PA1010) and Evonik (Vestamid Terra DS, PA1010). While most polyamides based on or oil are used in applications without flame retardancy requirements, DSM Engineering Pl...

... 2). Suppliers of special polyamides have added partly aromatic products to their range of PA products too, for instance Evonik Industries AG in Marl, Germany, (Vestamid HT) and Arkema SA in Colombes, France, offering the flexible Rilsan HT designed for fuel systems. With an increasing number of vehicles using Adblue, which is an aggressive urea solution employed to reduce NOx emissions, special polyamides with corresponding properties have recently been introduced for pumps, dosing units or fil...
