Product Description
UBESTA 3012 U is a heat stabilized, natural PA12 suitable for application which demand good flow-ability of the polymer. UBESTA 3012 U offers good viscosity stability in compounding of highly filled systems as used for plastics magnets. UBESTA 3012 U shows only low moisture absorption and therefore exceptional dimension stability.
