Generally, PA12 will work for most cases, and the majority of individuals frequently use PA12 as their initial solution.

However, there are occasions where the standard would be inadequate.

➡️ #PA12

– The safe choice

– A great all-rounder for prototyping and throughout the production process

– Provides balance between strength and surface quality

➡️ #PA12GB

– Provides more rigidity

– Exhibits better dimensional stability

– Provides excellent dimensional stability under load and heat

When used for structural components, enclosures and for applications where sufficient rigidity is not an option, PA12GB is the best choice.

➡️ #PA11

– Exhibits more flexibility

– Exhibits more resistance to shock / impact

– Provides a more comfortable feel to hold

When used for application such as clips, snap-fits, housing for electronic devices or applications where a part will frequently be manipulated, PA11 is typically the preferred choice.

In conclusion:

– All three materials have different end-use applications

– If you require higher rigidity, PA12GB will outperform PA12

– If you require better durability and noticeable feel, PA11 would be the preferred material
