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

Key Words: PA12; Polyamide 12

Material Notes:
Designation ISO 1874-PA12,MHLS,14-010,CD05

Rigid grade with graphite filler for injection molding. Available colors: steel gray. Light and heat stabilized. Mold-release agent.

Low friction coefficient. No need of lubricant. Good mechanical properties. Easy filling of the mold due to its well adapted viscosity. Low shrinkage: include 1% on average for the design of the mold. Very good dimensional stability (low moisture absorption). Higher rate of production.

Example applications: Moving mechanical parts.
