Evonik VESTAMID® NRG 2901 BK Nylon 12
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 12 (PA12)
Material Notes:	VESTAMID® NRG 2901 BK is a high viscosity, heat stabilized compound with exceptional mold release properties. Additionally VESTAMID® NRG 2901 BK is nucleated to reduce the cycle time and shrinkage of molded parts. Generally mechanical properties of compounds based on PA 12 vary little with changing humidity due to their low moisture absorption. Parts made of this semi-crystalline material are characterized by exceptional impact strength, high abrasion resistance, low friction and good chemical resistance. The manufacturer recommends a processing temperature between 230°C and 260°C - in some cases up to 280°C - during the injection molding process. The mold temperature should be within a range of 60°C to 100°C. Drying at 80°C 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.
