- Product Attributes
- Compared to commonly use conductive extrusion compounds VESTAMID® LX9112 BK is distinguished by a significant lower melt viscosity and respectively by outstanding extrusion characteristics even in very thin coatings.
- Steel tubing coated with VESTAMID® LX9112 BK meet the requirements of the US automotive industry to prevent electrostatic charge caused by flowing liquid fuels.
- Due to the excellent impact strength and the good abrasion and chemical resistance of polyamide 12 the seamless coating with VESTAMID® LX9112 BK improves the corrosion resistance of steel tubing significantly.
