PA12 information Long carbon chain nylon is a nylon with amide group in the main chain repeating unit of nylon molecule, and the length of methylene group between two amide groups is more than 10. We call it as long carbon chain nylon, including nylon 11, nylon 12, etc.. PA12 is nylon 12, also known as poly(dodecalactam) and poly(laurolactam), which is a kind of long carbon chain nylon. The basic raw material for polymerization is butadiene, a semi-crystalline - crystalline thermoplastic material. Nylon 12 is the most widely used long carbon chain nylon, it has most of the general properties of nylon, in addition to low water absorption, and has high dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good toughness, easy processing and other advantages. Compared with PA11, another long carbon chain nylon material, PA12's raw material butadiene is only one-third the price of PA11's raw material castor oil, and can be used in most scenarios instead of PA11, and has wide applications in many fields such as automotive fuel hoses, air brake hoses, submarine cables, and 3D printing. Among long-chain nylon, PA12 has great advantages compared with other nylon materials, its advantages are the lowest water absorption, lowest density, low melting point, impact resistance, friction resistance, low temperature resistance, fuel resistance, good dimensional stability, good anti-noise effect, etc. PA12 has the properties of PA6, PA66 and polyolefin (PE, PP) at the same time, to achieve the combination of lightweight and physical and chemical properties, with performance It has the advantages of light weight and physical and chemical properties. PA12-LCF If the base material is compared to concrete, the fiber is like steel reinforcement, and mixing the two is like adding steel reinforcement to concrete. If there is only concrete, the castings will easily crack under external forces, but once the high-strength reinforcement is added to it and the concrete wraps it sufficiently, they will become a single unit. When the object is subjected to external forces, the rebar can withstand most of the external forces, making the structural strength of this whole very high. Carbon fiber has many excellent properties, high axial strength and modulus of carbon fiber, low density, high specific performance, no creep, resistance to ultra-high temperature in non-oxidizing environment, good fatigue resistance, specific heat and electrical conductivity between non-metal and metal, small coefficient of thermal expansion and anisotropy, good corrosion resistance, good X-ray transmittance. Good electrical and thermal conductivity, good electromagnetic shielding, etc. Compared with traditional glass fiber, carbon fiber has more than 3 times of Young's modulus; it is about 2 times of Young's modulus compared with Kevlar fiber, which is insoluble and swollen in organic solvents, acids and alkalis, and has outstanding corrosion resistance. Nylon itself is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, but moisture absorption, poor dimensional stability of products. Strength and hardness is also far from metal. In order to overcome these shortcomings, as early as before the 70s. People have used carbon fiber or other varieties of fibers for reinforcement to improve its performance. Carbon fiber reinforced nylon materials have developed rapidly in recent years, because nylon and carbon fiber are excellent performance in the field of engineering plastics materials, its compound material synthesis reflects the superiority of the two, such as strength and rigidity than unreinforced nylon is much higher, high temperature creep is small, thermal stability has improved significantly, good dimensional accuracy, wear resistance. Excellent damping, compared with glass fiber reinforced has better performance. Therefore, carbon fiber reinforced nylon (CF/PA) composites have developed rapidly in recent years. Datasheet for reference Nylon 12 has low water absorption, good low temperature resistance, good air tightness, excellent alkali and grease resistance, medium resistance to alcohols and inorganic dilute acids and aromatics, good mechanical and electrical properties, and is a self-extinguishing material.
