Data on NYLON PA12 ?

Q. Where can I find a material datasheet for NYLON PA12? I need it to compare this material to PTFE, is there anywhere I can find advantages/disadvantages for use of NYLON PA12 as soft seat insert material for valves?

Best regards,

A. PA12 is manufactured by EMS Grivory (their website is - emsgrivory - do a search for it) under the brand name Grilamid.
TR grades are transparent.

An alternative brand is trogamid (manufacturer: Degussa-hpp)
Hope this helps.
