- VESTAMID® LX9013 BK 9.7507 is a plasticized polyamide 12 compound with an especially high long-term resistance under thermal load.
- The material absorbs only little moisture, thus leading to nearly unaffected dimensions and properties of the finished parts at changing ambient conditions. Extruded tubes are impact-resistant also at low temperatures.
- VESTAMID® LX9013 BK 9.7507 is suited to produce flexible tubes that are permanently exposed to higher temperatures, e.g., in the engine compartment of motor vehicles. Especially when used as diesel fuel lines they show significant advantages compared with standard grades, obvious in storage tests with diesel fuel (see the figure).
- The material corresponds to the extrusion compound PA12-HIPHL, grade1 acc. DIN 73378 and meets the requirements acc. DIN 74324 (black), ISO 7628 and SAE J844.
