VESTAMID® L2170 orange E20005 has been designed especially for the extrusion of cable sheathings, but it can be used advantageously also for the manufacture of semi-finished products like tubes, rods, sheets, and profiles. As a partially crystalline Polyamide 12, VESTAMID® L2170 orange E20005 exhibits a low coefficient of friction which eases the installation of cables in ducts. Sheathings made of VESTAMID® L2170 orange E20005 protect direct buried cables from attack by termites and rodents, due to their tough and smooth surface finish. Because of low water absorption parts produced from VESTAMID® L2170 orange E20005 maintain their dimension in environments with varying humidity levels, while maintaining a high toughness, a low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance. VESTAMID® L2170 orange is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags. Pigmentation may affect values. Property data for dry samples.
