PA12 GF40

40% Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon 12 (PA12 GF40)

Product Overview

PA12 GF40 is a high glass fiber content (40%) reinforced polyamide 12, offering outstanding structural rigidity, low warpage, and excellent creep resistance. It is especially suitable for parts subjected to long-term static loads or requiring high dimensional precision. Compared to PA12 GF30, PA12 GF40 is more appropriate for applications that demand higher strength and rigidity, while still retaining the low moisture absorption and chemical resistance of PA12.
