Description

PA11, MR, 18-020, GB30

Rilsan® BUM 30 O resin is a glass bead reinforced polyamide 11 produced from a renewable source. The incorporation of glass beads yields a virtually isotropic reinforced product. This natural grade dedicated to injection is specially designed for drinking water application: WRAS (UK). The percentage of renewable carbon according to ASTM D6866 (calculated) is 97%.

This material data has been provided by Arkema Technical Polymers.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
