Excellent Aging Properties in Water (Hydrolysis): Due to its superior hydrolysis resistance, VESTAMID® NRG 1001 is able to withstand higher continuous service temperatures for a design life of 20 years. Extensive additional research confirmed the superior aging performance even under additional test conditions, such as supercritical CO2. For dynamic applications, such as the riser, the end of lifetime is considered by reaching a CIV of 1.2 dl/g. VESTAMID® NRG 1001 has extremely high resistance to slow crack growth under real conditions in hydrocarbons. Its properties remain almost unchanged compared to virgin material. Polyolefins break down extensively in this respect. Extensive research data and actual field experience confirm the excellent aging performance of VESTAMID® NRG 1001 in water. Recent comparative investigations in the API 17 TR2 Revision JIP show the depth of understanding and modeling basis of the aging behavior of this PA12 grade. The overall outstanding performance of PA12 is thus also documented and referenced in the most renowned offshore flexible standard.
