Parts made of VESTAMID® X7393 are characterized by optimized cold temperature impact resistance for the extrusion of semi-rigid tubing with increased burst pressure resistance as well as exceptional low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance. Properties of compounds based on Polyamide 12 vary little with changing humidity due to their low moisture absorption.
