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-P,MHLR,14-004

Flexible grade for injection molding. Available colors: black and natural. Light and heat stabilized. Mold-release agent.

Good impact strength. Flexibility and dynamic properties even at low temperatures. Easy filling of the mold due to its well adapted viscosity. Low shrinkage: include 1% on average for the design of the mold. Good dimensional stability (low moisture absorption).

Example applications: Flexible parts with high impact strength and vibration resistance.
