VESTAMID®NRG 6001 is a plasticized PA 12 compound with heat and light stabilizers for the extrusion of flexible tubing and hoses especially for oil and petrochemical applications (e.g. for Umbilicals ). VESTAMID®NRG 6001 is characterized by easy processing and good dimensional control during pipe extrusion, especially when processing of multi layer tubes. This PA12 compound is optimized for excellent bonding to NeoflonTM EFEP RP-5000 (a registered trademark of Daikin Industries ) Properties of compounds based on polyamide 12 vary little with changing humidity due to low moisture absorption Parts made of the described semi-crystalline material are characterized by exceptional impact strength, low coefficient of sliding friction and good chemical resistance. VESTAMID®NRG 6001 is supplied ready for use in moisture-proof bags. The recommended process temperature for extrusion is 220°C to 260°C.Information provided by Evonik |
