Polymer Type |
| Thermoplastic |
Advantages |
| Good flexibility, abrasion resistance and notched izod impact strength compared with unmodified polyamide 12 plastics. |
Disadvantages |
| Reduced heat distortion temperature, increased coefficient of linear expansion and poor electrical characteristics compared with unmodified Polyamide 12. |
