\"PA12<\/p>\n

PA12 (Polyamide 12), commonly known as Nylon 12, is distinguished by its exceptionally low moisture absorption. While PA6 absorbs up to 9% and PA66 absorbs 8-9% moisture at saturation, PA12 absorbs only 0.9% maximum\u2014making it the premier choice for applications requiring dimensional stability in humid, wet, or underwater environments.<\/p>\n

Key Properties of PA12<\/h2>\n

PA12’s moisture absorption is only 0.9% maximum (10x lower than PA6\/PA66), with melting point of 178-180\u00b0C and continuous service temperature up to 130\u00b0C short-term. Impact strength reaches 30-40 kJ\/m\u00b2 retaining toughness at -40\u00b0C. Chemical resistance is excellent against fuels, oils, and brake fluids. Our PA12-CF30<\/a> provides enhanced mechanical properties.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/h2>\n

PA12 is used in automotive fuel systems (SAE J844, ISO 13775 compliant), marine hardware and underwater cables, pneumatic systems, medical devices, and cryogenic applications.<\/p>\n
