Product Description

Nylon 12 is a nylon polymer with the formula [(CH₂)₁₁C(O)NH]n. It is made from ω-aminolauric acid or laurolactam monomers that each have 12 carbons, hence the name 'Nylon 12'.
The melting point of nylon 12 is the lowest among the important polyamides.
Its mechanical properties, such as hardness, tensile strength, and resistance to abrasion, are similar to those of nylon 6 and nylon 66 but has a lower water absorption and density.
Its relatively long hydrocarbon chain length confers the dimensional stability of PA12, it is also chemical resistant and insensitive to stress cracking.

Nylon 12 has a broad range of applications as polyamide additives.
It is mainly used for films for packing material in the food industry and sterilized films and bags for use in the pharmaceutical and medical fields. When added to polyethylene films, it improves water vapor permeability and aroma impermeability.
It is also prepared as sheets and sintered powder for coating metals. In the electronics field, it is used for covering cables and insulating material, while in the automobile industry it is used to prepare oil and fuel resistant tubes. In the cosmetic and personal care industries, it is used as bulking and opacifying agents in the face and body powders, and skin creams. Nylon 12 has also found uses in the textile industry and for producing sporting and leisure goods among other applications such as non-feathers badminton.
