Shell Carilon® DA6L1A10 Polyketone, Lubricated Injection Molding Grade  (discontinued **)

Shell announced in Feb. 2000 that the Carilon product line is being discontinued. CARILON Polymer DA6L1A10 is a lubricated injection molding grade with mechanical properties which classify it as an engineering thermoplastic. Designed with demanding tribological applications in mind, such as gears, bearings etc., this cost efficient grade offers a high limiting pressure velocity ratio, low coefficient of friction and low wear. These benefits are achieved without sacrificing the toughness, moisture resistance and good fatigue performance which characterize the base polymer. CARILON Polymer DA6L1A10 can withstand short-term exposure to elevated temperatures. Moreover this polymer exhibits high resistance to hydrocarbons and other chemicals. CARILON Polymer DA6L1A10 is easy to process on standard injection molding equipment. Cycle times are generally short. Parts show good mold definition and little or no warpage. CARILON Polymers' low moisture sensitivity means that no conditioning of parts before assembly or use is necessary.Data provided by Shell Chemical.
