New acetals, nylons for rotomolding.A new North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. compounder claims to offer the industry's first acetals for rotomolding. They provide higher heat resistance than polyethylene (continuous use at up to 230 F), improved strength-to-weight ratio, and greater lubricity lu·bric·i·ty n.

Aartel 100 DS copolymer copolymer: see polymer. is a new conductive grade for fuel-handling systems, and Aartel 2000 homopolymer is a fast-cycling grade. Rotomoldable nylon 6 grades include Aarlon 800 (g-p, FDA-compliant) and Aarlon 1000 (heat-stabilized). Aarlon 2000 is a nylon 66 with continuous-use temperature of 350 F and UL 94V-2 FR rating (non-halogenated).
