PA11

Polyamide 11

PA11 is a fully bio-based polyamide derived from castor oil. It keeps low moisture uptake, flexibility and excellent impact strength even in the cold, and resists stress cracking and chemicals. It is used in fuel lines, pneumatic tubing and offshore cables.

Overview

PA11 is the standard grade of the PA11 family in the engineering plastics group. It is used in applications such as pneumatic and hydraulic tubing, fuel and gas lines, sports-shoe soles and parts. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Pneumatic and hydraulic tubing
  • Fuel and gas lines
  • Sports-shoe soles and parts
  • Powder coating and 3D-printing powder

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PA11 are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
