Applications of PA12

PA12 is widely applied across industries thanks to its low water absorption, high dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and excellent toughness. Key application areas include:

1. Automotive

Ideal for fuel lines, clutch lines, vacuum brake lines, air brake lines, battery coolant lines, and their fittings. PA12 ensures lightweight, safe, and reliable automotive fluid systems.

2. Pipe & Cable Applications

Used in flexible risers, gas pipes, linings, and steel pipe coatings onshore and offshore. Excellent low-temperature performance and weather resistance make it ideal for subsea oil, gas delivery, and communication cables (-50 ~ 70℃).

3. 3D Printing

PA12 powder offers high flowability, low static, low water absorption, moderate melting point, and precise dimensional control. Excellent fatigue resistance and toughness make it ideal for engineering-grade 3D printed parts.

4. Medical Devices

Ideal for catheters and medical tubing due to high bursting pressure, flexibility, chemical resistance, body fluid compatibility, and non-toxicity. Compliant with FDA and EU medical standards.

5. Consumer Goods

Used in eyewear frames, sports equipment, and other fatigue-resistant daily products.

6. Advanced Coatings & Adhesives

Used to coat metal surfaces for high friction and wear resistance. Applications include dishwasher bowl holders, outdoor furniture, and other coated metal parts to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
