Product Description
Conductive polyamide 12 compound for quick connectors

VESTAMID LX9106 black is a specially modified, 23 % glass fiber-reinforced PA 12 compound. It has been developed for injection molding of electrically conductive quick connect fittings.

Conductive tubing systems with quick connectors of VESTAMID LX9106 meet the requirements of the US automotive industry on conductive components in fuel systems as described in SAE J1645.

Further advantages of VESTAMID LX9106 are the characterizing properties of PA 12, e.g., low water absorption, good dimensional stability and nearly constant mechanical properties at changing ambient humidity.
