This datasheet of VESTAMID LX9008 blk (sw) from Evonik Industries AG is provided by the international plastics database CAMPUS.
CAMPUS is organized by a group of leading international resin producers, who have agreed to test their material according to uniform conditions, based on ISO standards (ISO 10350, ISO 11403), in order to offer comparable data to the market.
High-viscosity, plasticizer-free extrusion compound with an extraordinary longtherm
heat resistance
Resin: ISO 1874-PA12,HI,EHL,22-010
VESTAMID® LX9008 is a plasticizer-free polyamid 12 compound, with an especially high long-
therm resistance under thermal load.
VESTAMID® LX9008 is suitable to produce flexible tubes that are permanently exposed to higher
temperatures, e.g., in the engine compartment of motor vehicles. Especially when used as diesel
fuel lines they show significant advantages compared with standard grades, obvious in storage
tests with diesel fuel.
The material absorbs only little moisture, thus leading to nearly unaffected dimensions and properties
of the finished parts at changing ambient conditions.

PREPROCESSING INFORMATION
Maximum Water Content: 0.1 %
When the indicated water content is exceeded, the resin must be dried. The drying time is dependent
on the drying temperature. At a drying temperature of 80 °C we recommend, depending on the water
content, a drying time of 8 - 16 hours. Fresh air dryers are acceptable, better would be a dry air or
vacuum dryer. Please note our product literature, plasticized resins can lose plasticizer during drying.
PROCESSING INFORMATION
Melt Temperature : 220 - 250 °C
