- Very low moisture absorption 1.9% maximum at 73°F
- Will not become brittle or swell when exposed to water
- Excellent resistance to flexural fatigue, tube vibration, and movement
- Lightweight, with excellent bend radii and pressure ratings
- Resists abrasion, crushing, and cracking
- Standard availability in metric sizes and colors
- Tightest tolerances available (see chart)
- 100% incineration-approved by Scientific Ecology Group (S.E.G.)
- Semi-Rigid grade, black, is heat and light stabilized
Aimed as a substitute for metal, nylon's light weight and its resistance to corrosion and abrasion have made it an attractive design choice.
SR1200 & F1200 are now offered in the nylon-12 formulation for a lower cost with virtually the same physical properties and performance as nylon-11. Nylon's elastic memory can withstand repealed flexing over a long period of time without fatigue or fracture.
Further, SR1200 & F1200 offer high-impact resistance, even at subfreezing temperatures, and low moisture absorption. While nylon brittleness can occur through cyclesof water absorption and depletion.
SR1200 & F1200 are not dependent on moisture for flexibility. Their life expectancy is greatly increased and brittleness is eliminated. SR1200 & F1200 are resistant to solvents, alkalis, oils, greases, petroleum products, fungus, and molds. These products have good resistance to diluted mineral and organic acids, but in-plant tests are suggested. |
