Heat stabilized and light resistant polyamide 12 compound

VESTAMID® LX9012 has been especially 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® LX9012 feature high transparency, good screen and sublimation printing, outstanding scratch resistance, and excellent impact strength at low temperatures. The semi-crystalline compounds based on PA 12 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. VESTAMID® LX9012 is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing in moisture-proof packaging.

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”.
