PA12 Smooth

Product catalog summary
Material Overview: The document provides specifications for PA12 Smooth, a type of Nylon 12 known for its high surface quality and good quality to price ratio. It offers excellent surface quality, high detail recreation, and high chemical resistance.
Mechanical Properties: The material exhibits a tensile strength of 32 MPa and an elongation at break of 10%, as per PN-EN ISO 527-2:2012 standards. It has an impact resistance of 16 KJ/m² (unnotched) according to PN-EN ISO 179-1/1eU:2010 and a Shore hardness of 74 on the D scale (PN-EN ISO 868:2005).
Thermal Properties: The melting point of PA12 Smooth is 185°C, determined by internal procedures. The printout density is 0.92 g/cm³, as per PN-EN ISO 845:2010.
Surface Roughness: The roughness of test specimens printed with a layer thickness of 100 μm shows Ra values of 9.680 μm for side surfaces and 6.470 μm for top surfaces. Rz values are 54.184 μm and 31.633 μm, respectively.
Impact Testing: Charpy U- and V-notched impact tests were conducted using a pendulum with a maximum energy of 50 J, weight of 6.8 kg, and length of 380 mm. The results showed a KJ/m² value of 5.23 for U-notched and 3.28 for V-notched specimens.
Material Compatibility: The material is compatible with Lisa & Lisa Pro printers and requires a material refreshing ratio of 26%, indicating the percentage of fresh powder to be mixed with used powder for reuse.
Applications: PA12 Smooth is suitable for rapid prototyping, creating detailed objects, functional parts of high quality, and low-volume production of low-stress parts and working mechanisms.
Functions: The material is characterized by high detail, smooth surface, high chemical resistance, and regular mechanical properties.
General Information: The document notes that the provided values are average and for reference only, with potential variations based on part design and print orientation.
