Technology news: Cast PA 12C beats PA 12
Up to a length of 6 m and a weight of 750 kg – PA 12C Lauramid® can be cast into virtually any shape required, and with much larger dimensions than are possible with injection moulded PA 12.
Due to the pressureless casting process, the Lauramid® components have virtually no internal tension, which is the case with injection moulding applications. Furthermore, PA 12C beats PA 12 in terms of its yield stress, notch impact strength and tensile modulus of elasticity. Due to the higher crystalline content, the melting point of PA 12C is also higher than that of PA 12.
