VESTAMID® – The Polyamide of Choice in Multilayer Tubing

Automobile manufacturers and systemsuppliers have to decide which MLT satisfiestheir own requirements at the best costperformanceratio. To support our custommersin this decision, we work closely withthem in the application of MLT systems,thereby ensuring that the materials and MLTdesign will meet the requirements of theautomobile manufacturer.MLT without barrier layerMLT 140Conductive MLT forapplications requiringperformance of PA 12monowall tubesMLT 1000 with PBT barrier layerMLT 1000MLT with improvedpermeation resistanceagainst alcohol-containingfuels, good cold impactperformance, but limitedchemical resistanceMLT 4000 series with EVOH barrier layerMLT 4300MLT with very goodpermeation resistanceagainst ethanol-containingfuels, good cold impactperformance, but limitedchemical resistanceMLT 2000 series with PVDF barrier layerMLT 2030MLT with very goodpermeation resistanceagainst alcohol-containingfuels and excellent coldimpact performanceMLT 4500MLT with very goodpermeation resistanceagainst ethanol-containingfuels and excellent coldimpact performanceMLT 2040Conductive MLT with verygood permeation resistanceagainst alcohol-containingfuels and excellent coldimpact performanceMLT 4540Conductive MLT withvery good permeationresistance againstethanol-containing fuelsand excellent coldimpact performance

Optimum support through many yearsof expertiseOur customers are supported by our technicalexperts, from the initial concept untilthe finished product is ready for mass production.Our state-of-the-art facilities areat your disposal; these include our cuttingedgetechnical centers with injection molding,mono and MLT extrusion machines aswell as our analytical labs, including permeationmeasurement devices for film andtubing.MLT 7000 series with EFEP barrier layerMLT 7000MLT with very goodpermeation resistanceagainst alcohol-containingfuels and superior chemicalresistanceMLT 8000 series for cooling linesMLT 8000MLT 7040Conductive MLT with verygood permeation resistanceagainst alcohol-containingfuels and superior chemicalresistance of inner tubesurface. Also applicable foraggressive bio diesel fuels.MLT 7440Conductive MLT featuringtwo barrier layers with verygood permeation resistanceagainst alcohol-containingfuels and superior chemicalresistance of inner tubesurfaceHigh resistance against coolant liquidsCooling line systems made of plasticmaterials offer many advantages overconventional metal systems or elastomerhoses. Evonik has developed two multilayertubing systems for this application onthe basis of VESTAMID®.The systems of the 8000 series, which havediameters up to 30 mm and wall thicknessesranging from 1 to 1.5 mm, consistof three layers. A polypropylene suitable forthe coolant tube application forms the innerlayer. On top of this sits an adhesion-promotinglayer, followed by an outer layermade of the high-grade specialty polyamideVESTAMID®.
