Polyamide 6/12 is a polycondensation product of 1,6- hexamethylene diamine and 1,12- dodecanedioic acid. It is commercially available in dry and granulate. The processing of the component is done at a dry state at a water content below0.1%. The applications of polyamide 6/12 includes food, medical application, automotive & transportation and textile application. At high-temperature, polyamide 6/12 has a relatively low tendency to creep. It absorbs low moisture as compared to other polyamides including polyamide 12 and polyamide 11.
The global polyamide 6/12 has gained remarkable growth due increasing demand from automotive industry. The demand for polyamide 6/12 is expected to gain potential during the forecast period owing to its characteristics such as low melting point which makes it best suited for pipes and connectors in automotive & transportation application. However, the major factor restraining the growth of the polyamide 6/12 market is the excessive cost of polyamide 6/12 as compared to another polyamide.

Polyamide 6/12 is a long chain polyamide which is manufactured from raw material which includes hexamethylene diamine and dodecanedioic acid (DDDA). It is mostly used in automotive application owing to its characteristics like high resistance to hydrolysis which is vital importance for cooling-system components of cars and goods vehicles. Major application of polyamide 6/12 in automotive sector includes automotive media lines for air, oil, fuel and cooling systems. Polyamide 6/12 can be used as a supplementary product in the market for polyamide 12. As compared to PA12, the significant differences are the clearly higher melting point, better stiffness - especially in a dry state and the clearly higher water uptake in a saturated condition. By application, polyamide 6/12 market is segmented into automotive & transportation, industrial application and textiles & others. The automotive & transportation segment in terms of value accounted for highest market share 54.61% and is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period, followed by industrial application and textile & others.
