RIM

TECARIM is a tough material for mechanical and plant engineering.

Semi-finished products from TECARIM have an excellent resistance to impact and abrasion. Application temperatures range from -60 to +120°C. The high abrasion resistance characteristic of polyamides has been improved in the case of TECARIM and can be used advantageously, particularly in the low temperature range.

These high-performance polyamide 6 block copolymers are produced by a reactive casting process, RIM (reaction injection moulding). Liquid basic materials are cast into a form and subsequently react.

Tough and low-abrasive parts, as well as parts without brittle fracture, can be machined for their use under extreme circumstances. TECARIM can provide benefits in machine, plant and functioning parts with high dynamic load and abrasion resistance. Further applications are heavily loaded plastic parts for the petroleum and gas industry or special-purpose vehicles like cable cars, ski lifts and snow tractors.

The manufacture of parts by the TECARIM custom cast process is particularly suited to cases of extreme wall thickness variations.
