Product Texts

Medium-viscosity PA612 resin

VESTAMID® D18 is a medium-viscosity Polyamide 612 compound for extrusion and injection moulding of e.g. monofilaments (toothbrush bristles).

The material based on  PA612 absorbs only small amounts of water. Components made of this material  therefore show excellent dimensional stability under changing ambient humidity.

VESTAMID® D18 is supplied as cylindrical granules in moisture-proof polyethylene containers ready for processing.

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”.
