New High Performance Elastomer

Pebax®  Rnew is the first bio-based TPE to offer no compromise on high performance. Its outstanding mechanical, physical and chemical properties offer significant flexibility in a wide range of applications. Pebax® Rnew enables to bridge the gap between thermoplastics and rubbers. Pebax® Rnew can be used pure, as an additive or in blends with other polymers or rubbers. It can also be reinforced with various fillers.

 

Pebax® Rnew is made up of block copolymers consisting of a sequence of polyamide 11 and polyether segments.

Using Pebax® Rnew ensures that all Pebax® intrinsic properties are maintained including:

 

 

      Low Density

              Flexible fatigue performance

              Energy return, power transmission

              Outstanding properties at low temperature

     Chemical resistance

      UV resistance

 

 

As well as the above, Pebax® Rnew is easy to process (Injection and Overmolding, Extrusion (Films and Sheets)) and easy to decorate.

Performance at low temperatures

Compared to classical Pebax®, Pebax® Rnew brings:

 

 No yield strain, leading to

        Better cold impact resistance

        Better flexibility at low temperature

        Better flex fatigue resistance

 Higher Thermal Resistance
