I have been watching Plastics News hoping to see an article announcing the acquisition of the technology and production facilities for Shell Chemical´s Carilon resin. I don´t know why the marketing of this material failed to materialize, as it wasn´t the material´s fault. Running Carilon was a blessing, and it solved many problems that go with molding nylon, although it performed like nylon in applications.
Most people won´t know what I am talking about. Therein lies the problem; I rest my case. Shame, shame, shame. Who´s to blame?
Back to the drawing board ...
