Product Description
Heat-stabilized and light-resistant polyamide 12 compound

VESTAMID LX9016 has especially been developed for the extrusion and co-extrusion of ski upper and decorative films. Decoration on the bottom side of injection molded sports shoe soles is a further application field.

Films made of VESTAMID LX9016 feature high transparency, good screen and sublimation printing, outstanding scratch resistance, and excellent impact strength at low temperatures.

The semi-crystalline compounds based on PA12 absorb only low quantities of water.

Therefore, molded parts show excellent dimensional stability, constantly high impact strength, low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance at changing ambient humidity.
