- Product Attributes
- VESTAMID® L1670 coatings exhibit a low coefficient of friction which facilitates the laying of cable.
- Switchboard wiring isolated with VESTAMID® L1670 can be soldered with no worry of interference by the plastic resin. The wiring can be soldered without the need to strip the isolating layer.
- Jacketing of VESTAMID® L1670 protects buried cables from attack by termites.
- This partially crystalline polyamide 12 bases compounds have a very low water absorption. Therefore products produced from VESTAMID® L1670 maintain their dimensions in environments with varying humidity levels, while maintaining a high tenacity, a low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance.
