"Pebax® Elastomers are block copolymers made up of rigid polyamide blocks and soft polyether blocks. Manipulating these blocks and their relative ratio allows for the creation of a large range that spans the flexibility spectrum from very hard and rigid to very soft and flexible, without the need for plasticizers. These unique polymers maintain the highly desirable combination of the toughness traditionally associated with polyamides and the flexibility/elasticity more often seen with polyethers/polyesters." "Pebax® Rnew® grades are partially bio based, renewable elastomers that use the same source as Rilsan® Polyamide 11 (PA11). Castor oil, derived from the seeds of castor plants (a non-edible plant that grows with little need for water) is used to synthesize the basic building block of PA11. Pebax® Rnew® grades are polyether block amides, where the amide block is PA11, compared to standard Pebax® grades that have a PA12 block. from Arkema website
