VESTAMID® NRG 3901 BK is a high molecular grade PA 12 material developed by Evonik. VESTAMID® NRG 3901 BK is a polyamide 12 compound developed for the manufacturing of hydrocarbon transport piping systems and liners. VESTAMID® NRG 3901 BK is characterized by easy processing and excellent dimensional control during pipe extrusion, especially by processing of large diameter pipes. The material has an excellent resistance to hydrocarbons (i.e. crude oil) and oilfield chemicals (i.e. paraffin inhibitors). The properties of components made of VESTAMID® NRG 3901 BK are not affected by the contact with these media, resulting in high dimensional stability. The manufacturer recommends a processing temperature between 220 °C (428 °F) and 260 °C (500 °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. Generally, VESTAMID® NRG 3901 BK is processable on most of the commercially available PE extrusion machines. Polyamide 12 is a high performance thermoplastic polymer with increased performance characteristics that translates into safe operations over the life of the installed pipeline. 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 offshore applications. VESTAMID® NRG 3901 BK is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing in moisture-proof packaging. Preliminary data sheet.
