Degussa AG Vestamid® E50-R2 Heat & Light Stabilized Nylon 12/PEBA Elastomer
Subcategory: Elastomer, TPE; Nylon; Nylon 12; Polyether Block Amide (PEBA); Polymer; Thermoplastic
Material Notes: Description: Compared to other contending thermoplastic elastomers, PA 12 elastomers are distinguished by the following properties:- They have low density.
- They are highly resistant to chemicals and solvents.
- They are easy to process and color and are easy to overmold.
- They can be decorated easily by means of heat transfer printing.
- They have excellent impact strength at low temperatures.
- Their hardness and flexibility can be varied over a wide range.
- They have high elasticity and good recovery.
- Their mechanical properties are only slightly temperature-dependent.
- They are free of volatile or migrating plasticizers.
Applications: permanently antistatic articles (R=102 - 105?), e.g., conveyor belts, housings, paint spray hoses Information provided by degussa.
