Reinforced, filled and flame-retardant VESTAMID® polyamide 12 compounds
Characterization: 23% chopped strands, medium viscosity, heat stabilized with processing aid
Applications: connectors for fuel lines
• Lowest water absorption of all commercially available polyamides. As a result, the properties vary little and molded parts exhibit almost no dimensional changes with variations in humidity.
• Extraordinarily high impact resistance and notched impact strength – immediately after injection molding and also well below the freezing point
• Good to very good resistance to greases,oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and many solvents as well as to salt solutions, etc.
• Excellent resistance to stress cracking, even for metal parts encapsulated by injection molding or embedded
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Low coefficient of sliding friction, in dry running against steel, polybutylene terephthalate, polyacetal and other materials
• Noise and vibration damping properties
• Excellent resistance to fatigue caused by frequent load change
• High processability
