Glassfiber reinforced (25%), electrically conductive PA12 resin

VESTAMID® L-R2-GF25 BK glass fiber-reinforced, electrically conductive polyamide 12 for injection molding process, especially for molded parts for explosion-protected equipment and systems.

The parts based on PA 12 absorb only small amounts of water and components made of this material therefore show excellent dimensional stability under changing ambient humidity. The resistance values of the finished parts are dependent on the processing conditions.

VESTAMID® L-R2-GF25 BK is supplied as cylindrical granules ready for processing in moisture-proof polyethylene containers.

Pigmentation may affect values.

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.

For information about processing of VESTAMID®, please follow the general commendations about “Processing of VESTAMID® compounds”.
