VESTAMID® L2140 BK 9.7504

Chemical Family: Polyamides

VESTAMID® L2140 BK 9.7504 is a heat- and light-stabilized polyamide 12 compound designed for extrusion of tubing and semi-finished products such as fuel lines. The properties of this material are minimally affected by changing humidity due to its low moisture absorption. Parts made from this semi-crystalline material exhibit exceptional impact strength, a low coefficient of friction, and good chemical resistance.
