Nylon coatings have been used for many years in applications requiring superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion and impact. The resistance to abrasion has been independently tested and shown to be ten times that of standard powder coatings.
The surface of a nylon coating is already smooth and easy to clean, and has a warmer, more pleasant feel to it than other coatings.
It is highly resistant to solvents and chemicals such as alcohol based cleaners and fluorinated anaesthetics. Nylon R-AM is based on Arkema’s
Rilsan® Polyamide 11, a biomass-based polymer manufactured from a renewable resource (castor oil) minimising its environmental impact. Rilsan® has
received the “Biomass Based” label from JORA (Japan Organics Recycling Association).

Silver-based
biocidal technology
The Biomaster technology used in
Nylon R-AM is based on silver ions
encapsulated in ceramic glass. This
gives prolonged activity even after
repeated washing and heat cycling. |
