VESTAMID® Terra DS16 NC
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
VESTAMID® Terra DS16 NC is a medium-viscosity PA 1010 basic polymer. It is semi-crystalline, which contributes to its high mechanical resistance and chemical stability. It has low water absorption and excellent dimensional stability. VESTAMID® Terra DS16 is suitable for manufacturing films with good transparency.

- Attributes
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 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%.
- Packaging Information
