PA 12 / PA 12 C (Cast)

PA 12 is available as an extru­ded or cast vari­ant (PA 12C). This poly­amide is charac­te­ri­zed by very good impact beha­vior and high tough­ness. Due to its very low water absorp­tion, this mate­rial is more dimen­sio­nally stable than a PA 6. In the produc­tion of PA 12 G, it is possi­ble to cast metal­lic cores (stain­less steel, alumi­num, brass) directly into the material.

The data sheets for this mate­rial and other mate­ri­als can be found in our down­load center.
