- VESTAMID® L2123 BK 9.7507 is a plasticized and high-viscosity polyamide 12 compound for the extrusion of flexible tubing and hoses especially for automotive industry. Tubing according to DIN 73 378, Type: PA 12-PHL.
- Properties of compounds based on PA 12 vary little with changing humidity due to low moisture absorption. Parts made of this semi- crystalline material are characterized by exceptional impact strength, low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance.
- VESTAMID® L2123 BK 9.7507 is characterized by a high melt viscosity, optimized cold temperature impact resistance and good dimensional control during pipe extrusion.
