30% Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon 12 (PA12 GF30)

Product Overview

PA12 GF30 (30% Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide 12 / PA12+30 GF) is an engineering-grade thermoplastic that offers high impact resistance, low moisture absorption, and excellent dimensional stability. It is particularly well-suited for use in humid or outdoor environments. Compared to PA6, PA12 exhibits significantly lower water absorption and superior chemical resistance. PA12 GF30 is commonly used in pneumatic systems, sports equipment, and precision components that require long-term stability in demanding conditions.
