Besides extending the operating pressure limits of thermoplastic piping systems, VESTAMID® NRG 5901 BK offers many of the same benefits, and in most instances more superior performance, as conventional PE piping systems.
- Tough and durable
- Corrosion resistant
- Resistant to heavy hydrocarbons
- High resistance to Slow Crack Growth
- Increased installation efficiencies
- Reliable performance
These characteristics make the VESTAMID® NRG 5901 BK material an ideal choice when selecting appropriate thermoplastic piping materials in extending your gathering and flow lines infrastructure. Besides extending the operating pressure limits of thermoplastic piping systems, VESTAMID® NRG 5901 BK offers many of the same benefits, and in most instances more superior performance, as conventional PE piping systems. We recommend a processing temperature between 230°C (446°F) and 260°C (500°F) - in some cases up to 280°C (536°F) - during the injection molding and extrusion process. The mold temperature should be within a range of 60°C (140°F) to 100°C (212°F). Drying at 80°C (176°F) 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 line pipe. 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.
