Nylacast Aquanyl 612

Chemical Family: Polyamides

Nylacast Aquanyl 612 is the premium PA612 for unrivaled dimensional stability & moisture absorption. Aquanyl 612 is the ideal material choice for when additional resilience is a specific requirement, for example in the ball valve industry where the application of valve seat seals benefits greatly from this material. In addition due to its copolymer make up with nylon 12 the product has a reduced moisture uptake than cast nylon providing improved dimensional stability
