| Shell announced in Feb. 2000 that the Carilon product line is being discontinued. CARILON Polymer D26FX100 is a general-purpose extrusion grade with mechanical properties that classify it as an engineering thermoplastic. This grade exhibits high chemical resistance and barrier performance. Moreover, this grade shows a high impact resistance, both at room temperature and at lower temperatures, and good creep performance. CARILON Polymer D26FX100 can also withstand short-term exposure to elevated temperatures.
CARILON Polymer D26FX100 is processable on standard extrusion equipment and may be considered for the production of tubes, industrial hoses, monofilaments, coatings for cable and wire. It is also possible to coextrude CARILON Polymer D26FX100 with other materials, typically to be employed as a barrier layer in containment applications. Data provided by Shell Chemical. |
