PA12

  • High strength and durability
  • Chemically resistant to a variety of materials
  • Low friction
  • Good thermal stability

Our selection of PA12 (Polyamide 12) is designed to meet the demands of a variety of industrial sectors that require strength, flexibility and reliability. Also known as nylon 12, the material stands out by combining robust wear resistance with good formability. This makes PA12 ideal for applications that require components that can withstand shock, high loads and harsh environments over long periods of time.

Advantages of PA12

  • Extraordinary strength: PA12 retains its shape and performance, even when exposed to repeated stress.
  • Malleable flexibility: The material can be cast or machined into complex shapes without losing its mechanical properties.
  • Unparalleled durability: Good resistance to wear, which extends the life of critical machine parts.
  • Chemical resistance: Withstands contact with many types of chemicals, reducing the risk of corrosion and degradation.

Typical applications

PA12 is often used in the production of everything from pipes and hoses to gears, sleeves and protective parts. Its ability to withstand high loads without cracking, combined with low moisture absorption, makes it popular in industries such as automotive, industrial machining and electronics. The material also offers a good strength-to-weight ratio, which can contribute to better fuel economy or energy savings in the final product.

Stable performance in varied environments

One of the major advantages of PA12 is its ability to maintain mechanical properties over time, even in challenging environments with temperature or humidity variations. This provides increased operational reliability and fewer maintenance intervals, which in turn contributes to lower operating costs and better overall economics for many companies.
