描述
VESTAMID LX9070 NC is a natural-color polyamide 12 grade in Evonik’s VESTAMID engineering-plastics portfolio. It belongs to the long-chain PA12 family, which is widely selected when a design requires a combination of low moisture sensitivity, dimensional stability, toughness, chemical resistance and reliable engineering performance.
The most important point when evaluating VESTAMID LX9070 NC is to separate verified PA12-family characteristics from grade-specific data. Evonik publishes extensive information on the VESTAMID PA12 family, but a complete current open-public numerical TDS for LX9070 NC is not presently indexed in the sources used for this product page. For this reason, this page does not copy density, MVR, tensile modulus, impact strength, melting point, HDT, Vicat or electrical values from another VESTAMID grade.
That approach is important because Evonik offers many PA12 compounds with different viscosity levels, stabilizer packages, processing aids, impact modifiers, plasticizers, fillers and application-specific modifications. Two products can both be PA12 while having substantially different flow, stiffness, processing behavior and end-use positioning.
At the PA12-family level, Evonik highlights several characteristic advantages. PA12 absorbs very little water compared with shorter-chain commercial polyamides. This means molded or extruded components experience relatively small property and dimensional changes when environmental humidity varies.
PA12 also provides excellent impact and notched-impact resistance, including at temperatures below freezing. In addition, the material family has good to very good resistance to oils, greases, fuels, hydraulic fluids, many solvents and salt solutions.
Other well-established VESTAMID PA12 characteristics include excellent abrasion resistance, a low coefficient of sliding friction, resistance to stress cracking, vibration and noise damping, and strong resistance to fatigue under repeated loading.
These characteristics make VESTAMID LX9070 NC relevant for engineering evaluation whenever a natural-color PA12 grade is specified. However, the exact processing method and final application should be matched against the latest grade-specific Evonik TDS before production qualification.

Typical Applications for VESTAMID LX9070 NC
Because the current open-public grade-specific TDS is not fully available, this page does not assign VESTAMID LX9070 NC to an application that has not been verified.
At the broader VESTAMID PA12-family level, Evonik uses PA12 materials in demanding applications where low moisture uptake, toughness, chemical resistance and dimensional stability are valuable.
Potential evaluation areas for a PA12 material include:
| Evaluation Area | Why PA12 May Be Considered |
|---|---|
| Precision Engineering Parts | Low humidity sensitivity and dimensional stability |
| Injection-Molded Technical Components | Toughness, fatigue resistance and chemical resistance |
| Extruded Technical Parts | PA12 family offers grades for profiles, tubes and cable-related applications |
| Moving / Sliding Components | Low friction and good abrasion resistance |
| Fluid-System Components | Resistance to many oils, fuels and hydraulic media |
| Cold-Environment Parts | Strong low-temperature impact behavior of PA12 |
| Industrial Components | Good fatigue, vibration and chemical-resistance balance |
These are PA12-family evaluation areas, not a substitute for a grade-specific LX9070 NC application statement. For a new project, confirm whether VESTAMID LX9070 NC is intended for injection molding, extrusion or another process before final material selection.

PA12 Family Property Profile
Although exact numerical values must come from the grade TDS, the VESTAMID PA12 family has a well-established technical profile:
- Very low water absorption compared with other commercial polyamides
- Small dimensional changes with changing humidity
- High impact and notched-impact resistance
- Useful toughness below freezing
- Good resistance to greases, oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids
- Good resistance to many solvents and salt solutions
- Excellent stress-cracking resistance
- Excellent abrasion resistance
- Low coefficient of sliding friction
- Good fatigue resistance under repeated loading
- Noise and vibration damping capability
These family characteristics explain why PA12 is frequently chosen for demanding engineering components even when other nylons may offer lower raw-material cost.
Why Choose VESTAMID LX9070 NC?
The strongest reason to evaluate VESTAMID LX9070 NC is the underlying performance balance of PA12.
Many engineering polymers perform strongly in one area but require compromises in another. A high-stiffness polymer may become brittle at low temperature. A tough polymer may absorb too much moisture. A low-friction material may lack chemical resistance. PA12 is useful because it combines several valuable properties in one polymer family.
Low moisture absorption is particularly important. Moisture acts as a plasticizer in many polyamides, changing stiffness, strength and dimensions. PA12 contains fewer amide groups than shorter-chain nylons, so its water uptake is much lower.
That gives VESTAMID LX9070 NC a useful PA12 foundation for applications where dimensional consistency matters.
Impact resistance is another advantage. Evonik describes PA12 as having exceptionally high impact and notched-impact performance, including well below freezing. This is valuable for parts that may experience assembly shock, vibration or cold-weather service.
Chemical resistance further expands the potential design space. PA12 is widely valued for resistance to oils, greases, fuels, hydraulic fluids, solvents and salt solutions.
The low coefficient of friction and abrasion resistance can also reduce wear in components that move against metals or other engineering plastics.
For a customer already specifying VESTAMID LX9070 NC, the main next step is not to replace the grade with generic PA12 data. It is to obtain the current manufacturer TDS and verify the exact flow, mechanical, thermal, electrical and processing values required by the project.
Processing Guidelines for VESTAMID LX9070 NC
The exact processing window for VESTAMID LX9070 NC should be taken from the latest grade-specific TDS. The following information is general Evonik VESTAMID PA12 handling guidance, not an LX9070 NC-specific melt-temperature recipe.
Evonik supplies VESTAMID materials in moisture-protective packaging. Material from intact original packaging is generally suitable for processing without additional drying.
If the package has been damaged or the material has been exposed to ambient air for an extended period, Evonik’s general guidance for unplasticized PA12 is:
| Processing Item | General VESTAMID PA12 Guidance |
|---|---|
| Drying Temperature | 80–100°C |
| Drying Time | 2–4 hours |
| Dryer Type | Dehumidified-air dryer preferred |
| Target Moisture after Drying | <0.1% |
| Material Handling | Keep opened material tightly closed and minimize moisture exposure |
Before changing materials, the machine should be cleaned thoroughly. Evonik notes that even small amounts of incompatible polymer contamination can reduce mechanical strength, particularly at weld lines.
Actual melt temperature, mold temperature, injection speed, holding pressure, screw speed, extrusion profile and cooling conditions for VESTAMID LX9070 NC should be based on the current grade documentation and the actual part geometry.
This is especially important because viscosity and additive package have not been verified from an open grade-specific source.
Comparison: VESTAMID LX9070 NC vs. VESTAMID L1940 NC
The table below is designed as a selection-status comparison, not a numerical equivalence claim.
| Feature | VESTAMID LX9070 NC | VESTAMID L1940 NC |

| Primary Processing | Confirm latest TDS | Injection molding / extrusion |
| Typical Commercial Positioning | Confirm latest TDS | General technical molding and extrusion |
| Selection Approach | Use exact current LX9070 NC documentation | Use published L1940 NC technical data |
Choose VESTAMID LX9070 NC when that exact grade is specified by the customer, drawing, qualification file or existing production process.
Choose VESTAMID L1940 NC only when its published processing and performance profile independently matches the project requirements. It should not be treated as an automatic substitute for LX9070 NC.
