Glass fibre reinforced (15%) PA12 resin for the injection moulding of rigid and tough parts

VESTAMID® L-GF15 NC is a glass fiber –reinforced heat stabilized Polyamide 12 for injection molding. The material contains about 15% glass fibers, an ageing protective agent and a processing aid for a fast and even form filling. Due to the reinforcement moldings from this compound exhibit a higher strength and good heat resistance, excellent for gear housings for electric window openers in cars.

Further advantages of VESTAMID® L-GF15 NC are the characterizing properties of PA12, e.g., low water absorption, good dimensional stability and nearly constant mechanical properties at changing ambient humidity.
  
VESTAMID® L-GF15 NC is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags.
 
Pigmentation may affect values.

Inside the original and undamaged packaging, the product has a shelf life of at least 2 years when stored in dry rooms at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.

For information about processing of VESTAMID®, please follow the general commendations about “Processing of VESTAMID® compounds”.
