PA12-CF
PA12-CF is a carbon fibre filled polyamide for lightweight, dimensionally stable functional parts with defined installation dimensions.
Base plastic: polyamide 12
Typical applications
Precision assembly aids, fixtures, gauges and rigid connecting elements.
Why PA12-CF?
This material combines high stiffness with low sensitivity to moisture, making it an attractive option for dimensionally accurate technical parts.
