Bio-PA11 Flexible — Bio-based Polyamide 11, Flexible Grade CC
Bio-PA11 Flexible CC is a plasticized or copolymerized variant of bio-based Polyamide 11, engineered for increased flexibility and impact resilience. It maintains good chemical resistance from its PA11 base, making it suitable for applications like tubing, hoses, and protective covers where both durability and supple performance are needed.
