VESTAMID® L2124
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
VESTAMID® L2124 NC is a plasticized, heat- and light-stabilized polyamide 12 compound specially designed for the extrusion of flexible tubing and hoses, particularly for oil and petrochemical applications. This compound conforms to DIN 73 378, Type: PA 12-PHL, for tubing. VESTAMID® L2124 NC is characterized by its high melt viscosity and excellent dimensional control during pipe extrusion. Compounds based on PA12 demonstrate minimal variation in properties with changing humidity due to their low moisture absorption. Parts made from this semi-crystalline material exhibit exceptional impact strength, a low coefficient of friction, and good chemical resistance. Choose VESTAMID® L2124 NC for its reliable performance, versatility, and exceptional properties, ensuring the durability and reliability of your flexible tubing and hose applications.
