VESTAMID® L L1940
Polyamide 12
Unfilled VESTAMID® polyamide 12 compounds
Characterization: medium viscosity, heat stabilized with processing aid
Applications: loose tubing for optical fibers, sheathing for steel cables
In general, it can be said that long-chain, semi-crystalline polyamides absorb little water, are resistant to polar and non-polar solvents, exhibit low creep behavior and high impact resistance and can be used in a wide temperature range. Virtually no other polymer material in this price range exhibits these properties.
