Comparison of strength and limitations for polyamide 11

Strengths	Limitations
Good resistance to oil and water	The market price is relatively higher compared to other polyamides
Higher melting temperature of 200 °C	Lower heat resistance and rigidity
Possesses higher resistance to ionization radiation	Lower resistance to ultraviolet radiation
Strong resistance to different chemicals, fuels and salt solutions	Weaker resistance to acetic acid and phenols
Resistant to abrasion, cracking and possesses greater longevity	Electrical properties are highly dependent on the moisture content
