PA1012
Orinko
PA1012 is a long-chain semi-biobased nylon derived from sebacic acid (or dodecanedioic acid) and hexamethylenediamine. Its unique molecular structure combines low water absorption, chemical resistance, and toughness, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based nylons.
Low Water Absorption: Maintains dimensional stability better than short-chain nylons (e.g., PA6, PA66).
Chemical Resistance: Withstands oils, alkalis, and harsh chemicals.
Low-Temperature Toughness: Remains flexible in cold environments.
High Toughness: Long methylene chains enhance impact resistance.
Ease of Processing: Excellent melt flow for injection molding and extrusion.
Biobased Content: Up to 60% renewable (e.g., castor oil-derived sebacic acid).
