VESTAMID® CW1442 BK is a highly filled, carbon fiber-reinforced, heat- and UV-stabilized compound based on PA12. It is generally used for components manufactured in the injection molding process and is especially suitable for applications where high impact strength and stiffness as well as low coefficient of friction are required. In addition, it has a good bonding strength with TPU. The PA12 compound absorbs only small amounts of water. Therefore, components made from this material have an excellent dimensional accuracy with changing ambient humidity. Due to the low melting point of VESTAMID® CW1442 BK, the material provides a wide processing window for the injection molding process. The compound is suitable for applications requiring a high ratio of flow length to wall thickness. Preliminary data sheet. VESTAMID® CW1442 BK is supplied as cylindrical granules ready for processing, in moisture barrier bags. The use of colorants can change property values.
