Carilon DB6G3A11 Shell Chemical Polyketone (Aliphatic) (Glass Fiber Reinforcement, 15%)

Product Description

CARILON® Polymer DB6G3A11
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 DB6G3A11 is a black colored, 15 percent short glass-fiber-reinforced general-purpose injection molding grade with mechanical properties that classify it as an engineering thermoplastic. This grade shows a unique balance of toughness and high modulus combined with good creep performance, strength and elevated temperature performance. Moreover this polymer exhibits high resistance to hydrocarbons, solvents, salt solutions, weak acids and weak bases.
CARILON Polymer DB6G3A11 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 DB6G3A11 are found in the automotive, electrical, electronics, industrial and consumer appliance markets.
