| VESTAMID Terra DS22 natural color is a high viscosity PA 1010 basic polymer. VESTAMID Terra DS22 is semi-crystalline, which is the reason for its high mechanical resistance and chemical stability. It absorbs little water so its mechanical properties vary little when exposed to changing environmental humidity. The material features a high dimensional stability. VESTAMID Terra DS22 can be used to manufacture films with good transparency. The high melting point of VESTAMID Terra DS22 compounds results in a high heat deflection temperature. VESTAMID Terra DS22 occupies a position between the high-performance long-chain polyamides such as PA 12 and PA 1212 and shorter chain standard polyamides PA 6 and PA 66. Because of its chemical and physical properties, and the plant origin of its monomers, VESTAMID Terra DS22 is an interesting addition to conventional longer chain polyamides, and it also meets the growing demand for materials made from renewable raw materials. VESTAMID Terra DS22 natural color is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags. VESTAMID® Terra DS is the polycondensation product of 1,10-decamethylene diamine (D) and 1,10-decanedioic acid (sebacic acid—S). Because both monomers are extracted from castor oil, VESTAMID® Terra DS is based on natural, renewable resources up to 100%. |
