Rilsan® Clear
透明ポリアミド樹脂
Bio-based, low-carbon-footprint transparent polyamides
Arkema is the first manufacturer to provide high-performance, bio-based transparent polyamides. Rilsan® Clear Rnew® is a high-sustainability profile material made from renewable castor bean, which does not compete with food and does not cause deforestation. Rilsan® Clear Rnew® G820 grade with 62% bio-based carbon (ASTM D6866) and G850 grade with 45% bio-based grades (ASTM D6866) are ideal for reducing carbon footprint and achieving desirable transparent part design.
