VESTAMID® NRG 2101 YE is a high molecular grade PA 12 material developed by Evonik. Its superior performance characteristics make it a good choice for expanding the use of thermoplastic piping systems at higher operating pressures and larger diameters to replace metallic piping systems in a safe and cost effective manner. Besides extending the operating pressure limits of thermoplastic piping systems, VESTAMID® NRG 2101 YE offers many of the same benefits, and in most instances more superior performance, as conventional PE piping systems.- Tough and durable
- Corrosion resistant
- Resistant to heavy hydrocarbons
- High resistance to Slow Crack Growth and Rapid Crack Propagation
- Increased installation efficiencies
- Worry free performance
These characteristics make the VESTAMID® NRG 2101 yellow material a good choice when selecting appropriate thermoplastic piping materials in extending gas distribution infrastructure. The manufacturer recommends a processing temperature between 230°C (446°F) and 260°C (500°F) - in some cases up to 280°C (536°F) - during the injection molding and extrusion process. The mold temperature should be within a range of 60°C (140°F) to 100°C (212°F). Drying at 80°C (176°F) for 2 hours to 4 hours before processing is recommended. Polyamide 12 is a high performance thermo-plastic polymer with increased performance characteristics that translates into safe operations over the life of the installed pipe- line. It has a considerable record of safe and proven experience in many demanding applications, including fuel lines in passenger cars, air brake tubing in trucks and off-shore applications. 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.
