Overview
PA6.12 is the standard grade of the PA6.12 family in the engineering plastics group. It is used in applications such as precision gears and cams, fuel-system fittings, toothbrush and industrial brush filaments. 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.
Typical properties
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 1,06 g/cm³ |
| Melting point | 215–218 °C |
| Tensile strength | 50–60 MPa |
| Moisture uptake (sat.) | %2,5–3 |
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
- Precision gears and cams
- Fuel-system fittings
- Toothbrush and industrial brush filaments
- Cable jacketing
