Product Description
Impact-modified, heat- and light-stabilized polyamide 12 compound for extrusion

VESTAMID LX9006 has been developed for the production of very flexible, impact resistant extruded parts, especially tubes.

Its composition makes VESTAMID LX9006 suitable for the extrusion of tubes for windshield washer systems that have only small amounts of extractable substances in water/alcohol mixtures.

Further advantages of VESTAMID LX9006 are the characterizing properties of PA 12, e.g., low water absorption, good dimensional stability and nearly constant mechanical properties at changing ambient humidity.
