Product Description

 

Product Description

    

PA 12, also referred to as polyamide 12 or Nylon12, is a thermoplastic polymer that belongs to the family of polyamides. It is known for its unique chemical composition, which gives it distinctive properties and makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.

PA 12 is composed of repeating units of amide groups (-CO-NH-) connected by carbon atoms. This structure gives the material its strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. The presence of amide groups also imparts excellent thermal stability to PA 12, allowing it to withstand high temperatures without losing its mechanical properties.

The molecular structure of PA 12 contributes to its advantageous properties. The long chains of carbon atoms provide flexibility and toughness to the material, enabling it to withstand impact and deformation. Additionally, the amide groups offer strong intermolecular interactions, resulting in high tensile strength and resistance to chemicals.

PA 12 is synthesized through a polymerization process, where the monomers of Nylon12 are chemically bonded together to form long chains. This process can be controlled to achieve specific molecular weights and desired material properties.

Due to its unique composition, PA 12 exhibits favorable characteristics such as excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and good electrical insulation properties. These attributes make PA 12 a preferred choice for various industrial applications where strength, durability, and reliability are required.



 

• High Durability: Where the impact of forces and stresses is a critical design consideration, nylon 12 often comes through as manufacturers particularly prefer it for its high durability. Seeing that nylon 12 is one of the strongest grades of nylon. It can resist wear and tear easily. 
• Lightweight: Despite its toughness and high strength, nylon 12 is still a lightweight material that is often a preferred choice for manufacturers in projects that require easy handling without sacrificing strength. These lightweight characteristics also make nylon 12 very cost-effective for high-performance projects. 
• Excellent Dimensional Stability: Nylon 12 retains its internal structure that influences its external dimensions despite harsh environmental conditions that often affect other materials' stability. Its excellent dimensional stability often remains unchanged even when submerged in water. 
• Good Surface Finish: The surface texture of a material often determines its suitability for applications that require an appealing surface finish. Nylon 12 is usually preferred for such applications because it has an appealing surface finish. The postproduction finish process that includes polishing and painting is also very easy with the type of surface finish that nylon 12 has. 
• High Processability: One spectacular feature of nylon 12 is its flowability during manufacturing, like plastic injection molding. This ability makes it an outstanding material for molding and several other industrial production processes requiring intricate shapes. 
• Recyclability: The ability to reuse a material after serving its original purpose is encouraged. This recyclability is one that nylon 12 possesses as it can be reused as material for fiber, pellets, and several other alternative products after it's been used for its original purpose. This is better than adding to the environmental pollution caused by the huge waste already generated. 
• High Impact Resistance: This feature of nylon 12 is probably why it is one of the most sought-after materials by several manufacturing industries. Nylon 12 resistance to forces and impacts guarantees its longevity, especially for products subjected to different stresses over their lifetime. 
• UV Resistant: The ability to resist the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays from the sun is another characteristic that manufacturers of outdoor products seek in nylon 12. Nylon 12 is very effective for protecting the integrity of outdoor products, including devices that are excessively exposed to the sun over their working life.  
• Biocompatible: This characteristic indicates a material's suitability for medical purposes, as biocompatible materials are antibacterial and don't react with chemicals. This makes nylon 12, a fantastic biocompatible material, suitable to produce medical devices like surgical equipment.

Application

1. Automotive Industry

PA 12 has been used as a plastic in the automotive industry for many years: examples of multilayer pipes made of PA 12 include fuel lines, pneumatic brake lines,hydraulic lines, air intake system, air boost system, hydraulic system, automotive electronics and lighting, cooling and air conditioning system, oil system, power system and chassis in the vehicles of countless automobile manufacturers worldwide. Its chemical resistance and outstanding mechanical properties make PA 12 an ideal material for contact media that contain hydrocarbons.

2. Photovotaics / Solar Industry

On solar tracker systems, install wire management every 4 ft or less along the torque tube or secured to the module frame. Ensure cable has some slack to allow for thermal cycling.

It is worth noting that the cable management system should avoid sharp edges. Do not thread products through module mounting holes alone. Movement can lead to premature damage and product failure. By the way, you can also use the cable tie mounts series to secure it (click to see how to install the zip tie mounts), which can effectively avoid the shaking of the cable.

In addition, A failed cable tie can lead to a downed wire and potential inverter ground faults. Adding to regular wear and tear, extreme environments such as deserts, where temperatures can range from -20°F (-29°C) to 120°F (+49°C), can further stress materials.

Therefore, Two considerations are extremely important when evaluating zip tie options:

• Materials and price
• The application of the system

Although PA12 is more expensive than PA6 and PA66, it is the best choice for the solar photovoltaic industry.
 

3. Offshore Umbilical Gas and Oil Pipeline Construction

Some polyamide 12 grades were specifically developed for energy efficient gas and oil pipelines. These polyamides have extraordinary resistance to mechanical stress, stress fracturing, and chemicals such as crude oil. Thanks to these properties, they can be used to protect the exterior and interior of onshore and offshore oil and gas pipelines against corrosion and chemicals.

4. Sports and Leisure Industry

Polyamide 12 is used to manufacture bicycle derailleur, sport shoes (shoe soles), etc., thanks to its good grease and abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction.

5. Electronic Engineering and Manufacturing Applications

In engineering/ manufacturing applications like protective layer of water pipes, air and spray-painting hoses, electrical appliances, connectors, mobile phones and other portable devices is widely used.

• PA 12 3D printing: PA 12 has gained popularity in the field of 3D printing. Its compatibility with various 3D printing technologies, such as selective laser sintering (SLS), allows for the creation of intricate and functional parts with high accuracy and mechanical strength. PA 12's ability to retain its properties at elevated temperatures makes it a preferred choice for 3D printing applications.
