Polyamide 11 (PA 11) is a bio-based thermoplastic derived from castor oil, offering high flexibility, impact resistance, and thermal stability compared to PA 12.

PA 11 Tube options:

• PA 11 – Standard form
• PA 11 Plasticized – Enhanced flexibility

Key Properties of PA 11 Tubes:

• Excellent Chemical Resistance – Withstands oils, greases, hydrocarbons, and solvents.
• Low Moisture Absorption – Ensures dimensional stability in humid environments.
• High Impact Strength – Tough even in extreme cold.
• Superior Flexibility – More flexible compared to PA 12, ideal for dynamic applications.
• Thermal Stability – Operates efficiently from -40°C to +140°C.
• Good Abrasion & Wear Resistance – Long-lasting in high-friction environments.
• Excellent UV & Weather Resistance – Performs well in outdoor applications.
• Eco-Friendly – Bio-based and more sustainable than petroleum-based alternatives.
• Low Density – Lightweight, making it suitable for weight-sensitive applications.

PA 11 Compliance with DIN Standards:

• DIN 73378 – Polyamide tubing requirements for motor vehicles.
• DIN 74324 – Polyamide tubing for air braking systems and pneumatic circuits in commercial vehicles.

Main Applications of PA 11 Tubes:

• Automotive: Fuel lines, brake tubing, cable sheathing.
• Industrial: Pneumatic/hydraulic systems, flexible tubing, gears.
• Medical: Catheters, prosthetics, surgical instruments.
• Electronics: Wire coatings, insulating components.
• Consumer Goods & Sports: Footwear, protective gear, 3D printing.
• Aerospace & Defense: Lightweight, high-performance components.

PA 11’s combination of flexibility, durability, chemical resistance, and sustainability makes it a top choice across multiple industries.
