Description: VESTAMID LX9013 is a plasticized polyamide 12 compound with an especially high long-term resistance under thermal load. Parts made of this material absorb only little moisture, thus leading to nearly unaffected dimensions and properties at changing ambient conditions. VESTAMID LX9013 is suited to produce flexible tubes that are impact-resistant also at low temperatures. These tubes are permanently exposed to higher temperatures, e.g., in the engine compartment of motor vehicles, particularly as fuel lines in diesel engine vehicles. The advantages of the compound to comparable standard grades are strongly obvious in storage tests with diesel fuel. Information provided by degussa.
