High viscosity, plasticized, heat and light stabilized PA12 Compound for extrusion

VESTAMID® L2124 NC is a plasticized, heat- and light- stabilized polyamide 12 compound for the extrusion of flexible tubing and hoses especially for oil and petrochemical applications.

Tubing according to DIN 73 378, Type: PA 12-PHL.

VESTAMID® L2124 NC is characterized by a high melt viscosity and good dimensional control during pipe extrusion.

Properties of compounds based on PA12 vary little with changing humidity due to low moisture absorption. Parts made of this semi-crystalline material are characterized by exceptional impact strength, low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance.

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”.
