Polyamide 11 (PA 11) or Nylon 11 is a polyamide bioplastic derived from vegetable oil.
It is produced by Arkema under the tradename Rilsan from castor beans. PA 11 is not biodegradable. Supplied in powder or pellet form, resins can be processed by injection molding, extrusion, blown film extrusion, extrusion blow molding or rotomolding. Global economic growth is the major driver of the growth of polyamide. Automotive market that accounts for about 10% of the total polyamide consumption, is poised for good growth in polyamide applications due to new regulations.
Its properties are similar to PA12, although it has a lower environmental impact, consumes less non-renewable resources to be produced and has superior thermal resistance. PA 11 and 12 are available in rigid, semi-flexible and flexible grades. Technical parts used in industries accounts for a large use of polyamides worldwide. According to one estimate, the automobile sector accounted for more than 30% share, and electronic and electrical industry accounted for almost 25% of polyamide consumption.
Unpigmented and clear Powder as an additive for paints. Improves the scratch and abrasion resistance of paints. Allows for different texture depending on the granulometry used. Can be dispersed completely in liquid media. It is weaker but more resilient than the most common types of Nylon (6 and 6/6). It is used in high-performance applications such as automotive fuel lines, pneumatic airbrake tubing, electrical anti-termite cable sheathing, oil and gas flexible pipes and control fluid umbilicals, sports shoes, electronic device components, and catheters.
