The Marvel of Rilsan Clear®

A Bio-Based Performance Polymer

At the heart of Rudy Project's sustainability quest lies Rilsan Clear®, a bio-based performance polymer that represents a pivotal milestone in our journey. This exceptional material is crafted from castor beans grown in the picturesque Gujarat region of India. The beans are carefully crushed to extract castor oil, which undergoes a meticulous refinement process to become the primary bio-based raw material for the polymer.

BPA-Free and Highly Sustainable

Rilsan Clear® isn't just any polymer; it's a game-changer. It's not only BPA-free but boasts the highest bio content and the most extensive range in the marketplace. With Rudy Project's commitment to sustainability, Rilsan Clear® is a perfect match, aligning seamlessly with our vision to reduce our environmental footprint.

Unparalleled Properties

Rilsan Clear® isn't just eco-friendly; it's a high-performance marvel. Its key properties include lightness, chemical and fatigue resistance, flexibility, and easy processability. These attributes make it exceptionally durable, capable of withstanding shocks, weather conditions, and the rigors of sports use.
