Arkema Rilsan® AMN Y TLD Nylon 12, MoS2 Filled (Conditioned)

Subcategory: Filled/Reinforced Thermoplastic; Nylon; Nylon 12; Polymer; Thermoplastic

Close Analogs:
Arkema, formed in 2004, was formerly Atofina Chemicals and before that Elf Atochem.

Key Words: PA12; Polyamide 12

Material Notes:
Designation ISO 1874-PA12,MHLS,14-010,MD05

Grade with molybdenum filler for injection molding. Available color: steel gray. Light and heat stabilized. Mold-release agent.

Low friction coefficient. Good impact strength. Easy filling of the mold due to its well adapted viscosity. Low shrinkage: include 1% on average for the design of the mold. Very good dimensional stability (low moisture absorption).

Example applications: Moving mechanical parts such as gear.
