MATERIALS ENGINEERING
Nylon 12 GF
Glass-bead reinforced for extreme stiffness and heat resistance.
Glass reinforcement raises rigidity markedly: at 2800 MPa tensile modulus it sits well above unreinforced Nylon 12. Its real advantage shows under load, where a 113°C heat deflection temperature at 1.8 MPa far exceeds Nylon 12 at 87°C. Elongation sits at 4%, so it holds its shape rather than flexing.

APPLICATIONS04 / 04
01
Engine Bay Components
Ducts, housings and mounts under sustained heat. At 113°C under a 1.8 MPa load it stays well above Nylon 12 at 87°C.
02
Load-Bearing Brackets
Structural members that must not sag under sustained load. Its 2800 MPa tensile modulus sits well above unreinforced Nylon 12 at 1850 MPa.
03
Fixtures & Tooling Aids
Production aids under repeated clamping and locating loads, where holding shape is what matters.
04
Guides & Wear Faces
Rails, guides and stop faces. The rigid structure limits deformation at the contact area.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Choose Nylon 12 GF When
- The part must hold its dimensions without sagging under sustained load.
- It must resist heat while under load, which is where its advantage shows.
- You need rigidity but not the cost of carbon reinforcement.
