Specialty long-chain polyamides with low moisture uptake, flexibility and outstanding chemical resistance — the tubing and fuel-line nylons. We source PA11 and PA12 in extrusion and molding grades.
Get a quote on nylon 11/12Compared to PA6/PA66, long-chain nylons absorb far less moisture, so parts stay dimensionally stable and flexible in wet and fuel-exposed environments. PA11 (bio-based) and PA12 dominate fuel lines, pneumatic tubing and demanding small parts; both also lead in powder form for industrial 3D printing.
