PA12W
PA12W is a white nylon 12 powder which shares the core mechanical strengths of standard PA12 – such as high stiffness, accuracy, and durability, but comes in a bright white formulation, making it ideal for aesthetic parts, dyeing, and inspection purposes. It is a versatile, engineering-grade material that performs well in both prototyping and production, particularly where part color and visual quality matter.
Benefits
White surface finish
Ideal base for dyeing - possibility of using brighter colours
Aesthetic quality
Strong mechanical properties
Excellent dimensional stability
Limitations
Slightly worse mechanical properties than PA12
Limited flexibility
Industries
PA12W is commonly used in industries that value both functionality and aesthetics, such as consumer products, medical devices (non-implant), product design, education, and visual prototyping. It’s particularly well-suited for housing prototypes, custom enclosures, white-label components, and color-dyed assemblies. Its bright white finish is also preferred for dimensional inspection, color-matching, and presentation-quality models.
