VESTAKEEP® polymers for filaments
Monofils and fibers made of VESTAKEEP® meet
•  Very high toughness
•  Excellent abrasion resistance
•  High temperature resistance
 

VESTAMID® D is the right material for manufacturing filaments. Polyamide 612 compounds by Evonik are easily processible into various bristle qualities, allow a variety of dimensional modifications, and are easy to color.
The balanced mechanical properties, low water absorption, and low abrasion of filaments made of VESTAMID® D make it perfect for toothbrush bristles as well as industrial applications such as abrasive filaments or high-tech filter fabrics. Their superior resilience compared to other monofilament materials ensure among others that the finished bristles do not lose their shape.

VESTAMID® Terra Bio-based polymers
•  VESTAMID® Terra HS (PA610) 62% nature resource
•  VESTAMID® Terra DS (PA1010) 100% nature resource
•  VESTAMID® Terra DD (PA1012) 45-100% nature resource
VESTAMID® Terra is high mechanical resistance and chemical stability. It absorbs little water and as a result its mechanical properties and high dimensional stability change little when exposed to fluctuating environmental humidity. Because of its chemical and physical properties, and the plant origins of its monomers, VESTAMID® Terra is an interesting completion to conventional longer-chain polyamides, and it also meets the growing demand for materials made from renewable raw materials.
