Description
Nylon 12 is made by photonitrosation then polymerization of dodecalactam. Nylon 12 is similar in most properties to Nylon 11, but it has more stretch and resilience. Nylon 12 has low water absorption and good stability. It is used for packaging film, metal coatings, and injection molded plastics.
See also Nylon fiber.
