50% Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon 12 (PA12 GF50)
Product Overview
PA12 GF50 is an ultra-rigid, high-glass-fiber-content composite grade based on Nylon 12, offering superior stiffness, low warpage, and excellent dimensional stability even under long-term load and thermal cycles. With lower moisture absorption compared to PA6/PA66 and enhanced resistance to fuels, chemicals, and environmental stress, PA12 GF50 is an ideal candidate for high-performance and metal-replacement applications.
