描述
VESTAMID L-CF15 BK E70461 is a semi-crystalline, UV-stabilized compound based on polyamide 12 (PA12) from Evonik Operations GmbH, reinforced with 15% carbon fibers. It is specifically developed for the injection molding of quick-connectors and is especially suitable for Automotive and Mobility applications.
The carbon fiber reinforcement provides electrical conductivity and antistatic properties, making this grade ideal for applications where static discharge must be controlled. The material is also laser absorbing, enabling laser welding and marking processes.
VESTAMID L-CF15 BK E70461 inherits the characteristic properties of PA12, including low water absorption, good dimensional stability, and nearly constant mechanical properties at changing ambient humidity . Because of its semi-crystalline morphology, it provides excellent chemical resistance . The material is halogen-free and supplied as cylindrical granules, ready for processing, in moisture-proof bags.
