- VESTAMID® NRG 2901 BK is a high viscosity, heat stabilized compound with exceptional mold release properties. Additionally VESTAMID® NRG 2901 BK is nucleated to reduce the cycle time and shrinkage of molded parts.
- Generally, mechanical properties of compounds based on PA 12 vary little with changing humidity due to their low moisture absorption. Parts made of this semi-crystalline material are characterized by exceptional impact strength, high abrasion resistance, low friction and good chemical resistance.

- Application Information
- We recommend a processing temperature between 230°C and 260°C - in some cases up to 280°C - during the injection molding process. The mold temperature should be within a range of 60°C to 100°C.
- Drying at 80°C for 2 hours to 4 hours before processing is recommended.
- Polyamide 12 is a high performance thermo-plastic polymer with increased performance characteristics that translates into safe operations over the life of the installed pipe- line.
- It has a considerable record of safe and proven experience in many demanding applications, including fuel lines in passenger cars, air brake tubing in trucks and off-shore applications.
