Datasheet PA-12-1

ddclrcip Pfi-12 PA-12 is our high-performance nylon filament with a broad range of mechanical and chemical properties. These properties include, but are not limited to, high impact (even at low temperatures), crack & scratch resistance, food water contact acceptable, superior chemical & weathering resistance backed by a very low water absorption and excellent dimensional stability. PA-12 is the perfect nylon filament for the (semi) professional print user who is looking for the perfect combination of printability and mechanical properties. PA-12 is one of the best solutions for industrial grade applications that need to last. Features: • High-performance industrial grade nylon • Strong & flexible • High impact, abrasion, crack & scratch resistance • Superior chemical & UV resistance • Excellent dimensional stability • Low water absorption Colours: Check the website for available colours. Additional info: PA-12 needs to be dried for good 3D print results. A standard air-circulated oven is sufficient. A guideline for drying is 60°C for ± 8 hours. Recommended temperature for heated bed is 110-130°C or even higher. PA-12 will not bond perfect to glass, but adheres well to a variety of 'print stickers' and other bed adhesives. We recommend the use of Dimafix spray or liquid to improve the bonding. Storage: Cool and dry (15-25°C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.
