Application Information

• VESTAMID® DX9330 NC is suitable for both extrusion as well as injection molding. Usually VESTAMID® DX9330 NC is only used in special cases when additives are not preferable, or processing aids are not necessary, e.g. filament extrusion.
• Based on the perfect balance of amino and carboxyl end groups this material is easy to process and to dye.
