PA11 | POLYAMIDE 11
FLEXIBLE, IMPACT-RESISTANT AND DURABLE
PA11 is a versatile polyamide characterized by its combination of flexibility, high elongation and impact resistance.
Compared with more rigid polyamides, PA11 is particularly suitable for functional components that need to withstand mechanical stress while retaining a certain degree of flexibility.
PA11 is based on renewable raw materials and is produced from castor oil.
PROPERTIES OF PA11
PA11 combines mechanical strength with a high degree of flexibility. This makes the material particularly interesting for components that are exposed to repeated movement, deformation or impact.
Key characteristics:
- High flexibility
- High elongation at break
- Excellent impact resistance
- Good mechanical properties
- Suitable for complex geometries
- Suitable for functional components
- Good post-processing and finishing options
- Based on renewable raw materials
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The combination of flexibility and durability makes PA11 suitable for a wide range of functional applications.
Typical applications include:
- Flexible functional parts
- Living hinges
- Snap-fit connections
- Eyewear
- Housings and technical components
- Customized products
- Technical parts
- Components exposed to mechanical stress
