Subcategory: Nylon; Nylon 12; Polymer; Thermoplastic

Close Analogs:
Arkema, formed in 2004, was formerly Atofina Chemicals and before that Elf Atochem.

Key Words: PA12; Polyamide 12

Material Notes:
Designation ISO 1874-PA12,MR,14-010

Rigid grade for injection molding. Available colors: black, natural, orange, red and white. Possibilities of heat and light stabilizing agents. mold-release agent.

Good mechanical properties. Low friction coefficient. Easy filling of the mold due to its well adapted melt viscosity. Low shrinkage: include 1% on average for the design of the mold. Very good dimensional stability (low moisture absorption). High rate of production.

UL classification: UL94 V2 (3,05mm) RTI(C) 65/65/65

Example applications: Stressed mechanical parts in all industrial field.
