VESTAMID® Terra DS16 NC is a medium-viscosity PA 1010 basic polymer. VESTAMID® Terra DS16 is semi-crystalline, which is the reason for its high mechanical resistance and chemical stability. It absorbs only little water. As a result its mechanical properties vary little when exposed to changing environmental humidity, and the material features a high dimensional stability. VESTAMID® Terra DS16 can be used to manufacture films with good transparency. The high melting point of VESTAMID Terra DS16 compounds results in a high heat deflection temperature that can be advantageous for some applications. VESTAMID® Terra DS16 occupies a position between the high-performance long-chain polyamides such as PA 12 and PA 1212 and the standard polyamides PA 6 and PA 66, which have a shorter chain length. VESTAMID® Terra is a group of new poly­amides, the monomers for which are based entirely or partly on renewable raw materials. VESTAMID® Terra DS is the polycondensation product of 1,10-decamethylene diamine (D) and 1,10-dodecanedioic acid (sebacic acid-S). Because both monomers are extracted from castor oil, VESTAMID® Terra DS is based on natural, bio-based and renewable resources up to 100%.

VESTAMID® Terra HS1851 is a glass fiber-reinforced, heat-stabilized, medium-viscosity PA 610 compound for injection molding application. The material contains about 20% glass fibers, an ageing protective agent and processing aid for a fast and even form filling. The carbonamide groups (-CO-NH-) of the polyamides form hydrogen bridge bonds between the chains of the macromolecules, thereby substantially promoting crystallinity and increasing their strength, melting point, resistance to chemicals and even water absorption. This is characteristic of all semi-crystalline polyamides. Because of its semi-crystalline morphology VESTAMID® Terra HS1851 provides a high impact strength, excellent chemical resistance (e.g. against greases, oils, alkalis and saline solutions), a low coefficient of friction and high abrasion resistance. VESTAMID® Terra is a group of new polyamides, the monomers for which are based entirely or partly on renewable raw materials. VESTAMID® Terra HS is the polycondensation product of 1,6-hexamethylene diamine (H) and 1,10-decanedioic acid (sebacic acid—S). Because sebacic acid is derived from castor oil, VESTAMID® Terra HS is a material that is partly based on bio-based and renewable resources. Pigmentation may affect values.

VESTAMID® Terra HS2211 BK E70405 is a polyamide 610 compound developed for the manufacturing of tubing systems with higher demands on heat resistance. The melting range of VESTAMID® Terra HS2211 BK E70405 is about 40°C higher than PA 11 and PA 12 compounds and allows higher peak temperatures in use. The compound is especially suitable for the extrusion of tubing systems that are exposed to high burst pressures at high service temperatures, e.g., hydraulic clutch lines. VESTAMID® Terra HS is partly based on renewable raw materials and fills the performance gap between the commodity and the niche long-chain nylons. VESTAMID® Terra HS is the polycondensation product of 1,6-hexamethylene diamine (H) and 1,10-decanedioic acid (sebacic acid—S). Because sebacic acid is derived from castor oil, VESTAMID® Terra HS is a material that is partly based on bio-based and renewable resources. Pigmentation may affect values.

VESTAMID® Terra HS22X-HI-H2 BK E70392 is a polyamide 610 extrusion compound developed for the manufacturing of tubing systems with higher demands on heat resistance. The melting point of VESTAMID® Terra HS22X-HI-H2 BK E70392 is being about 40°C higher than PA 11 and 12 compounds and allows higher peak temperatures in use. The compound is especially suitable for the extrusion of tubing systems that are exposed to high burst pressures at high service temperatures, e.g., hydraulic clutch lines. VESTAMID® Terra is a group of new polyamides, the monomers for which are based entirely or partly on renewable raw materials. VESTAMID® Terra HS is the polycondensation product of 1,6-hexamethylene diamine (H) and 1,10-decanedioic acid (sebacic acid-S).
