VESTAMID® Terra DS18 natural color

About
Medium viscosity, polyamide 1010 VESTAMID®Terra DS18 natural color is a medium viscosity PA 1010 basic polymer. VESTAMID Terra DS18 is semi-crystalline, which is the reason for its high mechanical resistance and chemical stability. It absorbs only little water. As a result its mechanical properties vary little when exposed to changing environmental humidity, and the material features a high dimensional stability. VESTAMID®Terra DS18 can be used to manufacture films with good transparency. The high melting point of VESTAMID Terra DS18 compounds results in a high heat deflection temperature that can be advantageous for some applications. VESTAMID®Terra DS18 occupies a position between the high-performance long-chain polyamides such as PA 12 and PA 1212 and the standard polyamides PA 6 and PA 66, which have a shorter chain length. Because of its chemical and physical properties, and the plant origin of its monomers, VESTAMID Terra DS18 is an interesting addition to conventional longer-chain polyamides, and it also meets the growing demand for materials made from renewable raw materials. VESTAMID® Terra is a group of new polyamides, the monomers for which are based entirely or partly on renewable raw materials. VESTAMID® Terra DS is the polycondensation product of 1,10-decamethylene diamine (D) and 1,10-decanedioic acid (sebacic acid—S). Because both monomers are extracted from castor oil, VESTAMID® Terra DS is based on natural, renewable resources up to 100%. Global Warming Potential (GWP) 2.8kg CO2 by Evonik, PE International.&&
