PA12

Its properties are similar to PA11, but the crystal structure is different. PA12 is a good electrical insulator and, like other polyamides, will not be affected by moisture. It has good impact resistance mechanical and chemical stability. There are many improved varieties of PA12 in terms of plasticizing and reinforcing properties. Compared with PA6 and PA66, these materials have a lower melting point and density, and have a very high moisture regain. PA12 has no resistance to strong oxidizing acids. The viscosity of PA12 depends mainly on humidity, temperature and storage time. It's very fluid. The shrinkage is between 0.5% and 2%, depending on the type of material, wall thickness and other process conditions. PA12 polyamide 12 or nylon 12 Typical applications: water meters and other commercial equipment, cable sleeves, mechanical cams, sliding mechanisms, photovoltaic backplates and bearings.
