PA610 & PA612 – Long-Chain Polyamide Solutions as PA12 Alternatives

​

What Are PA610 and PA612?

​

PA610 and PA612 belong to the long-chain polyamide family and are engineered polymers designed for demanding technical applications.

They are commonly evaluated as alternatives to PA12, offering comparable or, in some cases, improved performance depending on application requirements.

PA610 & PA612 as PA12 Alternatives

​

PA12 is widely used due to its low moisture absorption and chemical resistance. However, factors such as cost, supply availability and sustainability have increased interest in alternative materials.

​

PA610 and PA612:

• Can operate under conditions similar to PA12

• Offer higher melting and service temperatures

• Provide stable mechanical performance

Depending on part design and application, PA610 and PA612 can be technically suitable substitutes for PA12.

​
