VESTAMID® LX9112 BK
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
VESTAMID® LX9112 BK is a heat-stabilized, conductive polyamide 12 compound specifically developed for the pore-free extrusion coating of steel tubing. It stands out from commonly used conductive extrusion compounds due to its significantly lower melt viscosity and outstanding extrusion characteristics, even in very thin coatings.
