Product Description
CARILON® Polymer DB6G6P30
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 DB6G6P30 is a lubricated, glass-fiber-reinforced, injection molding grade with mechanical properties that classify it as an engineering thermoplastic. Designed with demanding tribological applications in mind, such as gears, bearings, etc., where there is a need for increased stiffness, this grade offers a high limiting pressure velocity ratio, low coefficient of friction and low wear. These benefits are achieved without sacrificing the toughness and moisture resistance that characterize the base polymer. CARILON Polymer DB6G6P30 can withstand short-term exposure to elevated temperatures. Moreover this polymer exhibits high resistance to hydrocarbons and other chemicals.
CARILON Polymer DB6G6P30 is easy to process on standard injection molding equipment. Cycle times are generally short and parts show good mold definition. CARILON Polymers' low moisture sensitivity means that no conditioning of parts before assembly or use is necessary.
Applications for CARILON Polymer DB6G6P30 are found in the electrical, industrial, consumer appliance and other markets.
