Glass-Filled PA12 — Polyamide 12, Glass Fiber Reinforced
Glass-filled PA12 offers significantly improved mechanical properties, including higher stiffness, tensile strength, and creep resistance, especially at higher temperatures, compared to unfilled PA12. It retains good chemical resistance and low water absorption.
