Nylon PA12 +40%GB FAQs

What are some common applications of Nylon PA12+40%GB?

Nylon PA12+40%GB is commonly used in applications that require high rigidity and dimensional stability, such as automotive parts, industrial components, and structural elements. It is particularly well-suited for components that must withstand high mechanical loads and thermal stresses.
Are there any trade-offs when using Nylon PA12+40%GB instead of pure PA12?

While Nylon PA12+40%GB offers enhanced strength and stability, it is also heavier and less flexible than pure PA12. Additionally, the surface finish of PA12+40%GB can be slightly rougher due to the presence of glass beads. These factors should be considered when selecting the appropriate material for your application.
What is PA12+40%GB?

PA12+40%GB is a composite material made from polyamide 12 (PA12) that is reinforced with 40% glass beads (GB). This combination enhances the mechanical strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability of the material compared to pure PA12. The glass beads provide additional rigidity and reduce shrinkage and warping, making PA12+40%GB ideal for applications requiring high performance and precision.
