RILSAN A 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 A is distinguished by its lower melting point, lower specific gravity and most particularly lower moisture absorption.
