VESTAMID Terra HS1851 is a glass fiber-reinforced, heat-stabilized, medium-viscosity PA 610 compound for injection molding application. The material contains about 20% glass fibers, an ageing protective agent and processing aid for a fast and even form filling.

The carbonamide groups (-CO-NH-) of the polyamides form hydrogen bridge bonds between the chains of the macromolecules, thereby substantially promoting crystallinity and increasing their strength, melting point, resistance to chemicals and even water absorption. This is characteristic of all semi-crystalline polyamides.

Because of its semi-crystalline morphology VESTAMID® Terra HS1851 provides a high impact strength, excellent chemical resistance (e.g. against greases, oils, alkalis and saline solutions), a low coefficient of friction and high abrasion resistance.

VESTAMID Terra is a group of new polyamides, the monomers for which are based entirely or partly on renewable raw materials.

VESTAMID Terra HS is the polycondensation product of 1,6-hexamethylene diamine (H) and 1,10-decanedioic acid (sebacic acid—S). Because sebacic acid is derived from castor oil, VESTAMID Terra HS is a material that is partly based on bio-based and renewable resources.
