Product overview of VESTOSINT® polyamide 12 nylon powders
VESTOSINT® polyamide 12 (PA 12) powders are specially designed for use as durable, coating applications. Created through a unique dissolution and precipitation production process, VESTOSINT® powders are made up of virtually perfect, spherical particles that facilitate processing. Additionally, the polymer has robust properties that are suitable for many demanding coating applications, especially those requiring:
- excellent adhesion to metals
- high impact strength
- high mechanical strength, elasticity, and surface hardness
- low water uptake and water-vapor permeability
- good resistance to water, even warm or detergent-containing water
- very good resistance to greases, oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, water, alkalis, saline solutions and many organic solvents
- low thermal conductivity
- good mechanical properties even at sub-zero temperatures
- good electrical insulation and dielectric strength
- ease of cleaning
- absence of bacterial growth
- high toughness
- high resistance to abrasion, and low coefficient of sliding friction
VESTOSINT® powders also show excellent processing properties in fluidized-bed coating process and give high processability. VESTOSINT® coated metals show a very good and appealing surface finish. Along with an existing color portfolio, metallic-effect colors are available, which have been developed to retain their color when in contact with water or under harsh conditions. Additionally, special colors can be provided on request.
