Hello Mr. Schmidt,

PA12 in itself is very chemically resistant. The chemical steam smoothing seals the pores and leads to higher resistance. I consider it suitable for use under seawater conditions.

Good day,

I have a small question: does chemically steam-smoothed PA12 (with SLS/MJF) hold up well in seawater conditions? I’m considering using it for parts that are frequently exposed to seawater conditions. I know that chemical steam smoothing improves water resistance, but I’m curious about how effective it is against the hardness of seawater. Any experiences or insights?
