Nylon 12 TubingAdvantages: Nylons absorb more moisture from the air than most other polymers. This has an effect on dimensional stability and physical properties. Moisture acts as a plasticizer, reducing tensile strength and stiffness and increasing elongation. But, while absorbed moisture reduces many properties, nylon owes part of its toughness to the plasticizing effect of moisture. As moisture content rises, significant increases occur in impact strength and general energy absorbing characteristics. MPC properly recognizes and accounts for the effect of moisture on the processing and properties of nylon need not be of great concern.
