VESTAMID® LX9008 BK 9.7504 is a plasticizer-free polyamide 12 compound, with an especially high long-term resistance under thermal load. VESTAMID® LX9008 BK 9.7504 is suitable to produce flexible tubes that are permanently exposed to higher temperatures, e.g., in the engine compartment of motor vehicles. Especially when used as diesel fuel lines they show significant advantages compared with standard grades, obvious in storage tests with diesel fuel. The material absorbs only little moisture, thus leading to nearly unaffected dimensions and properties of the finished parts at changing ambient conditions. Using VESTAMID® LX9008 BK 9.7504 for fuel lines one must pay attention to certain preconditions. 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.
