Shell announced in Feb. 2000 that the Carilon product line is being discontinued. CARILON Polymer D26VM100 is a high-flow injection molding grade with mechanical properties which classify it as an engineering thermoplastic. This grade exhibits very good processability, good impact resistance, high resilience and good creep performance. CARILON Polymer D26VM100 can also withstand short-term exposure to elevated temperatures. Moreover this polymer exhibits a high resistance to hydrocarbons, solvents, salt solutions, weak acids and weak bases.
CARILON Polymer D26VM100 is a high-flow, low-viscosity polymer that should be considered for moldings with long flow paths or thin walls. This grade is very easy to process on standard injection molding equipment. Cycle times are generally short. Parts show good mold definition with glossy mar-resistant surfaces. CARILON Polymers' low moisture sensitivity means that no conditioning of parts before assembly or use is necessary. Data provided by Shell Chemical. |
