Medium-viscosity polyamide 1010

VESTAMID® Terra DS16 NC is a medium-viscosity PA 1010 basic polymer. VESTAMID® Terra DS16 is semi-crystalline, which is the reason for its high mechanical resistance and chemical stability. It absorbs only little water. As a result its mechanical properties vary little when exposed to changing environmental humidity, and the material features a high dimensional stability.
 
VESTAMID® Terra DS16 can be used to manufacture films with good transparency.

The high melting point of VESTAMID Terra DS16 compounds results in a high heat deflection temperature that can be advantageous for some applications.
 
VESTAMID® Terra DS16 occupies a position between the high-performance long-chain polyamides such as PA 12 and PA 1212 and the standard polyamides PA 6 and PA 66, which have a shorter chain length.

VESTAMID® Terra DS16 NC is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags.
 
VESTAMID® Terra is a group of new poly­amides, the monomers for which are based entirely or partly on renewable raw materials.

VESTAMID® Terra DS is the polycondensation product of 1,10-decamethylene diamine (D) and 1,10-dodecanedioic acid (sebacic acid-S). Because both monomers are extracted from castor oil, VESTAMID® Terra DS is based on natural, bio-based and renewable resources up to 100%.

The results shown have been generated from a low number of production lots. Therefore, they are preliminary and not yet the result of a statistical evaluation. Therefore they must not be used to establish specifications.
