VESTAMID? Terra DS16 natural color
Polyamide 1010
Medium viscosity polyamide 1010
VESTAMID?Terra DS16 natural color 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.
Because of its chemical and physical properties, and the plant origin of its monomers, VESTAMID Terra DS16 is an interesting addition to conventional longer-chain polyamides, and it also meets the growing demand for materials made from renewable raw materials.
VESTAMIDTerra DS16 natural color is supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags.
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-decanedioic acid (sebacic acid—S). Because both monomers are extracted from castor oil, VESTAMID? Terra DS is based on natural, renewable resources up to 100%.
