Product Range and Typical Applications

The VESTAMID® portfolio includes a wide range of customized polyamides optimized for diverse industrial and technical applications. The three core product families are VESTAMID® L, VESTAMID® D, and VESTAMID® E.

All-around versatility in demanding environments

VESTAMID® L is one of the world’s leading PA12 materials and is known for its extremely low water absorption, high dimensional stability, and excellent impact strength — even at low temperatures. It offers outstanding resistance to oils, greases, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and many solvents. The material is easy to process via extrusion and injection molding.

Typical Applications:

  • Automotive fluid and air line systems
  • Large-diameter pipes for oil and gas extraction
  • Cable and wire insulation
  • Medical technology such as catheters
  • Precision injection-molded components (pumps, valve housings)

Sustainable Grades:

  • VESTAMID® eCO with significantly reduced CO₂ footprint
