Rilsan® Clear polyamide VS other transparent materials
Bio-based and transparent polyamides
Rilsan® Clear Rnew® is a high sustainability profile material: made from renewable castor plant, which is inherently drought resistant, requiring very little irrigation or fertilization and do not compete with food. Rilsan® Clear Rnew® G820 grade with 62% bio-based carbon and G850 grade with 45% bio-based carbon grades are ideal for reducing carbon footprint and acheiving desirable transparent part design.
High-transparency Polyamides Main Applications
Transparent Polyamides for Home & Kitchen Appliances
Arkema's flagship bio-based Rilsan® Polyamide 11 and Rilsan® Clear Rnew® transparent Polyamide ranges are known for their high resistance to extreme conditions. We have developed dishwasher-safe grades perfectly adapted for kitchenware applications such as cookware, kitchen utensils and storage products. The dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe polyamides are highly resistant to high temperatures, solvents, UV, radiation and fatigue.

Advanced Bio-Circular (ABC) Materials
These are not "just" bio-based materials. They are truly advanced polymers that are derived from a sustainably farmed feedstock. The Pragati sustainable farming initiative helps to continue a deep societal impact, uplifting thousands of Indian farmers and their families. This social impact extends to environmental impact as ABC materials ultimately help the world reduce its carbon footprint... a carbon footprint that is further reduced when these ABC polymers are recycled & reused.
