Carilon DA6L1A10

CARILON® Polymer DA6L1A10
CARILON® Thermoplastic Polymers are aliphatic polyketones, a revolutionary new class of semi-crystalline thermoplastics. Shell Chemical Company and its affiliates are the first to have developed a commercial process for manufacturing these materials.
CARILON Polymer DA6L1A10 is a lubricated injection molding grade with mechanical properties which classify it as an engineering thermoplastic. Designed with demanding tribological applications in mind, such as gears, bearings etc., this cost efficient grade offers a high limiting pressure velocity ratio, low coefficient of friction and low wear. These benefits are achieved without sacrificing the toughness, moisture resistance and good fatigue performance which characterize the base polymer. CARILON Polymer DA6L1A10 can withstand short-term exposure to elevated temperatures. Moreover this polymer exhibits high resistance to hydrocarbons and other chemicals.
CARILON Polymer DA6L1A10 is easy to process on standard injection molding equipment. Cycle times are generally short. Parts show good mold definition and little or no warpage. CARILON Polymers' low moisture sensitivity means that no conditioning of parts before assembly or use is necessary.
Applications for CARILON Polymer DA6L1A10 may be found in the electrical, industrial, consumer appliance and other markets.
