RILSAN B possesses superior mechanical properties, excellent impact strength and abrasion resistance, very satisfactory ability to withstand ageing, high resistance to attack by most chemicals, especially hydrocarbons, plus good electrical properties, and can be used over wide range of service temperatures

As compared to the polymers designated polyamides 6, 6-6, 6-10, RILSAN B is distinguished by its lower melting point, lower specific gravity and most particularly lower moisture absorption. In addition to these features common to all grades of RILSAN, however other special properties can be obtained by modification of the parent polymer and incorporating certain additives including fillers, reinforcing agents and plasticizers.
