Use of a molding compound comprising or consisting of the following components: (A) 37 to 90 wt% of a polyamide mixture consisting of the components (A1) and (A2), wherein (A1) 75 - 95 wt% at least one aliphatic polyamide comprising at least one PA unit V16 (V = acyclic aliphatic diamine having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, 16 = 1,16-hexadecaneidioic acid); and (A2) 5 - 25 wt% at least one transparent polyamide VX/WX/VY/WY/Z, where at least one of the polyamide units WX or WY is present and where the abbreviations V to Z are derived from the following molecules: V: acyclic aliphatic diamine having 4 to 12 carbon atoms; W: cycloaliphatic diamine; X: acyclic aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 18 carbon atoms; Y: aromatic dicarboxylic acids; Z: lactams and aminocarboxylic acids having 6 to 12 carbon atoms; where the sum of (A1) and (A2) produces the totality of the polyamide mixture (A); (B) 10 - 60 wt% fillers or reinforcements; (C) 0 - 3 wt% auxiliary substances and/or additives; where the sum of the components (A) to (C) adds up to 100 wt%, for the manufacture of a molded body for drinking water, in particular of a container, a fitting, or a pipe, where at least regions of the processed molding compound are directly in contact with the drinking water at times or permanently during its intended use. (A) 37 to 90 wt% of a polyamide mixture consisting of the components (A1) and (A2), wherein (A1) 75 - 95 wt% at least one aliphatic polyamide comprising at least one PA unit V16 (V = acyclic aliphatic diamine having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, 16 = 1,16-hexadecaneidioic acid); and (A2) 5 - 25 wt% at least one transparent polyamide VX/WX/VY/WY/Z, where at least one of the polyamide units WX or WY is present and where the abbreviations V to Z are derived from the following molecules: V: acyclic aliphatic diamine having 4 to 12 carbon atoms; W: cycloaliphatic diamine; X: acyclic aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 18 carbon atoms; Y: aromatic dicarboxylic acids; Z: lactams and aminocarboxylic acids having 6 to 12 carbon atoms; where the sum of (A1) and (A2) produces the totality of the polyamide mixture (A); (A1) 75 - 95 wt% at least one aliphatic polyamide comprising at least one PA unit V16 (V = acyclic aliphatic diamine having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, 16 = 1,16-hexadecaneidioic acid); and (A2) 5 - 25 wt% at least one transparent polyamide VX/WX/VY/WY/Z, where at least one of the polyamide units WX or WY is present and where the abbreviations V to Z are derived from the following molecules: V: acyclic aliphatic diamine having 4 to 12 carbon atoms; W: cycloaliphatic diamine; X: acyclic aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having 9 to 18 carbon atoms; Y: aromatic dicarboxylic acids; Z: lactams and aminocarboxylic acids having 6 to 12 carbon atoms; (B) 10 - 60 wt% fillers or reinforcements; (C) 0 - 3 wt% auxiliary substances and/or additives; where the sum of the components (A) to (C) adds up to 100 wt%, for the manufacture of a molded body for drinking water, in particular of a container, a fitting, or a pipe, where at least regions of the processed molding compound are directly in contact with the drinking water at times or permanently during its intended use. <EOS>
