VESTAMID® DX9180 BK is a conductive, low extractable and impact-modified resin based on polyamide 612 that is used as innermost layer in antistatic, low extractable multilayer tubes like EVONIK MLT 4840.1. VESTAMID® DX9180 BK offers outstanding properties concerning a low content of extractables particularly in contact with alcohol containing fuels, high impact resistance and improved long-term stability. Multilayer tubing manufactured with conductive VESTAMID® DX9180 BK as the innermost layer outperform the requirements of the American automotive producers to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) problems generated by fuel flow. VESTAMID® DX9180 BK absorbs only little water resulting in good dimensional stability and almost unchanged properties at varying ambient humidity. VESTAMID® DX9180 BK is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags. Pigmentation may affect values. Inside the original and undamaged packaging, the product has a shelf life of at least 2 years when stored in dry rooms at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
