PA11 (Nylon 11)

High Flexibility and Impact Resistance: PA11 offers exceptional flexibility and impact resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring parts to withstand dynamic stresses. It is used in flexible tubing, hoses, and cable insulation.

Resistance to Chemicals and Hydrolysis: PA11's resistance to various chemicals, oils, and hydrolysis makes it suitable for applications exposed to harsh environments. It finds use in fuel lines, oil reservoirs, and chemical handling equipment.

Low Water Absorption: PA11's low water absorption rate results in stable mechanical properties even in humid conditions. This property is advantageous for applications like underwater components and outdoor equipment.

Biocompatibility: Due to its biocompatibility, PA11 is used in medical applications such as surgical instruments, catheters, and implants, where it interacts safely with the human body.

PA12 (Nylon 12)

Low Moisture Absorption: PA12's low moisture absorption results in stable properties in humid environments, making it suitable for gears, bearings, and bushings.

Chemical Resistance: Its resistance to chemicals and oils makes it suitable for fuel systems, chemical containers, and oil reservoirs.

Impact Strength at Low Temperatures: PA12 retains impact strength in cold temperatures, making it used in snowmobile parts, winter sports equipment, and automotive components.
