Product Description
UBESTA P3012 U is a low viscosity, a heat stabilized, natural PA12 powder with a high MFR-value. It is suitable for application which demand a powder 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.
