VESTAMID® LXM8 is a medium-viscosity, glass fiber-reinforced and heat-stabilized polyamide 12 compound with good applicability for sport components such as shoe soles requiring very good fatigue performance and bonding ability to TPUs. Parts made of the semi-crystalline polyamide VESTAMID® LXM8 are characterized by excellent dimensional stability, constantly high impact strength, low coefficient of friction, good chemical resistance at changing ambient humidity, and excellent bonding strength to TPU. VESTAMID® LXM8 is suitable for manufacturing injection molded parts with efficient cycle times. VESTAMID® LXM8 is supplied as cylindrical granules ready for processing, in moisture barrier bags. Inside the original and undamaged packaging the product has a shelf life of at least two years when stored in dry rooms at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
