- VESTAMID® NRG 3001 is a polyamide 12 compound developed for the manufacturing of hydrocarbon transport piping systems and liners. VESTAMID® NRG 3001 is characterized by easy processing and excellent dimensional control during pipe extrusion, especially by processing of large diameter pipes.
- The material has an excellent compatibility against hydrocarbons (i.e. crude oil) and oilfield chemicals (i.e. paraffin inhibitors) resulting in high dimensional stability and unaffected properties of parts in contact with those.
- The process temperature should be within a range of 220°C to 240°C. Generally, VESTAMID® NRG 3001 is processable on most of the commercially available PE extrusion machines.
