Polyamide 12

abbreviated to PA 12, is a thermoplastic polymer that belongs to the polyamide family. It is produced by the polymerization of lauric lactam and has specific properties that make it suitable for various applications. 

Properties of PA 12:

  • High tensile strength:
    PA 12 is characterized by its high tensile strength, which makes it suitable for applications with mechanical loads.

  • High impact resistance:
    The material has good impact resistance, which means that it can absorb shocks and impacts well without breaking.

  • Good chemical resistance:
    PA 12 is resistant to many chemicals, which makes it attractive for various industrial environments.

  • Low water absorption:
    PA 12 absorbs only small amounts of water, resulting in low moisture absorption.

  • Good weather resistance:
    PA 12 is resistant to UV radiation and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Applications of PA 12:

PA 12 is used in various industries for specific applications, including

  • Automotive industry: fuel lines, pneumatic systems, brake lines, radiator pipes and other components.

  • Electrical industry: cable sheathing, insulators and other electrical components.

  • Aerospace: Cables, seals and components for aerospace applications.

  • Medical technology: Flexible tubes, catheters and other medical devices.

  • Industrial applications: Piping, seals, hoses and other components in various industrial applications.

Due to its balanced properties , PA 12 is a popular choice in applications where a combination of strength, flexibility and chemical resistance is required.
