描述
VESTAMID eCO LX9039 BBM100 is an unmodified, medium viscosity polyamide 12 (PA12) from Evonik Operations GmbH, containing no stabilizers and no processing aids . It is usually used only in special cases where the absence of any additives is desirable or the presence of processing aids interferes .
The “eCO” designation stands for Evonik’s aim to eliminate CO₂ through the use of renewable or circular feedstocks via a mass-balance approach . VESTAMID eCO LX9039 BBM100 is supplied as spherical granules, ready for processing in moisture-proof packaging . Pigmentation may affect values .
The primary application area is monofilament products such as toothbrush bristles and cosmetic brushes . Its most prominent feature is that it is produced using sustainable raw materials, for example, using rapeseed oil instead of fossil resources . Compared with PA612, PA12 offers very outstanding properties .
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data sheet for VESTAMID eCO LX9039 BBM100 has been externally audited and certified by TÜV, further proving its environmental and sustainable performance . Inside the original and undamaged packaging, the product has a shelf life of at least 2 years when stored in dry rooms at temperatures not exceeding 30°C .
