Evonik VESTAMID® LX9042 NC Nylon 12
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 12 (PA12)
Material Notes:	VESTAMID® LX9042 NC is an easy mold release and heat stabilized compound. Due to its highly effective mold release agents, VESTAMID® LX9042 NC is suitable for the efficient production of injection molded parts with very short cycle times. In addition, VESTAMID® LX9042 NC is nucleated to reduce the cycle time even further and/or to reduce the shrinkage. Properties of compounds based on Polyamide12 vary little with changing humidity due to their low moisture absorption. Parts made of this semicrystalline material are characterized by exceptional impact strength, low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance. VESTAMID® LX9042 NC is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags. Pigmentation may affect values. Dry properties listed below Industrial Sector: Sustainable, Industry and Engineering Sustainability: Sustainable electricity Processing: Injection molding Delivery form: Pellets, Granules Resistance to: Heat (thermal stability) Additives: Release agent, Unfilled Special Characteristics: High heat resistant, Medium viscosity, Low warpage / Low shrinkage Features: Low coefficient of friction, Nucleated Color: Natural color Additives: Release agent Chemical Resistance: General chemical resistance Information provided by Evonik.
