Low viscosity, heat and light stabilized Polyamide 12 compound

VESTAMID® L1670 has been developed especially for the extrusion of thin wire insulations and cable jacketings.

VESTAMID® L1670 coatings exhibit a low coefficient of friction which facilitates the laying of cable.

Switchboard wiring isolated with VESTAMID® L1670 can be soldered with no worry of interference by the plastic resin. The wiring can be soldered without the need to strip the isolating layer.

Jacketing of VESTAMID® L1670 protects buried cables from attack by termites.

This partially crystalline polyamide 12 bases compounds have a very low water absorption. Therefore products produced from VESTAMID® L1670 maintain their dimensions in environments with varying humidity levels, while maintaining a high tenacity, a low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance. VESTAMID® L1670 is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing in moisture-proof packaging.

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”.
