A WIDE RANGE OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLYAMIDES
VESTAMID® – QUALITY THAT COMES FROM EXPERIENCE
The VESTAMID® product range covers molding compounds of polyamide 12, polyamide 612, polyamide 12 elastomers (PEBA) and polyamides 610, 1010 and 1012 completely or partially based on renewables. The products of the VESTAMID® Care series are especially approved for medical applications, VESTAMID® NRG compounds are used in the oil and gas industry. The established materials have been used for decades by well-known manufacturers.
Polyamide 12
Evonik is one of the world's largest manufacturers of polyamide 12 (PA 12), which is marketed under the name VESTAMID® L. And we are currently increasing our capacity by more than 50% to ensure that we remain your reliable partner in the future.
Polyamide 612
Polyamide 612 (PA612), which we market under the name VESTAMID® D, has a higher heat resistance than PA 12 and is therefore also suitable for the patented plastic-rubber composites without adhesion promoters.
POLYAMIDE 12 ELASTOMERS
Our VESTAMID® E PA 12 elastomers (PEBA) belong to the increasingly important class of materials known as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). They are characterized by high elasticity and good resilience. The latest development is a flexible foam with extraordinary ball resiliency.
Biobased polyamides
The VESTAMID® Terra family comprises a group of polyamides based on renewable raw materials: the monomers are obtained in whole or in part from castor oil.
Polyamides for industrial pipes
VESTAMID® NRG was developed specifically for the oil and gas industry, but is now also used in other industrial pipes. It has very good chemical resistance and is characterized in particular by high impact strength and excellent stress crack resistance.
POLYAMIDES FOR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
YOUR PARTNER, FROM THE ORIGINAL IDEA TO THE FINAL PRODUCT
As a partner to our customers, we are far more than a producer of high-grade polymers: Our aim is rather to develop technically sophisticated system solutions in close collaboration with you. In this we draw on our many years of experience in application technology, which we make available to our partners in development.
