Polyamide PA (12) elastomers also called as Nylon 12 is a block copolymer consisting of polyamide and polyether segments. This polymer become more flexible, with higher impact strength at cold temperatures. Among the polyamides, polyamide 12 has the lowest water absorption and therefore features particularly high dimensional stability and little influence of moisture on the mechanical properties. It is made from laurolactam monomers that each has 12 carbons. The demand for polyamide has increased in recent time due to the durability or reliability of the material. It also has lower impact resistance and fairly better UV resistance. These properties are vital for applications in extreme conditions

Polyamide PA(12) Market Outlook

The market value of polyamide 12 is growing rapidly, propelled by the industrialization and urbanization of emerging economies coupled with rising demand from automotive industry and increasing use of polyamide 12 in 3D printing. Moreover, innovation and increasing demand for bio-based polymers is further anticipated to boost the global polyamide 12 market. However, excessive cost of polyamides as compared to other commercially available polyamide and easy availability of substitute product is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
