Grilamid Fwa

Grilamid FWA is a group of materials belonging to the PA12 material family, whose main properties are low water absorption, high dimensional stability and excellent chemical and UV resistance. The materials are also characterised by high hydrolysis resistance and very good impact toughness combined with high elongation – especially compared to other technical materials with similar stiffness.

Grilamid FWA is approved for direct contact with drinking water and food. The materials meet the requirements of the most important standards in Europe and North America: WRAS, ACS, KTW, NSF and FDA.

The materials are available unfilled and with glass fibre reinforcement between 30–65 %. The reinforced materials are suitable for metal replacement and have been developed to replace costly metals and other high-performance polymers. The favourable processing parameters of Grilamid FWA make them suitable for both thick- and thin-walled components that can be difficult for other polymers to process.
