Product Description
High viscosity, plasticized, impact-modified, heat- and light-stabilized PA12 compound for extrusion

VESTAMID LX9020 is a plasticized polyamide 12 compound with heat and light stabilizers for the extrusion of flexible tubing and hoses especially for oil and petrochemical applications.

VESTAMID LX9020 is characterized by easy processing and good dimensional control during pipe extrusion, especially when processing large pipe diameters.

Properties of compounds based on polyamide 12 vary little with changing humidity due to low moisture absorption. Parts made of the described semi-crystalline material are characterized by exceptional impact strength, low coefficient of sliding friction and good chemical resistance.
