Nylon

Product catalog summary
Chemical Name and Description: The document describes Nylon, a polyamide known for its durability, high strength-to-weight ratio, flexibility, low friction, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in 3D printing due to its reduced humidity absorption compared to other Nylon filaments.
Key Features: Nylon offers industrial-grade impact and abrasion resistance, a high strength-to-weight ratio, low friction coefficient, and good corrosion resistance to alkalis and organic chemicals.
Applications: Suitable for functional prototyping, tooling, and industrial modeling.
Non-suitable Applications: Not recommended for food contact, in-vivo applications, or environments where temperatures exceed 80 ˚C.
Filament Specifications: Diameter is 2.85±0.05 mm with a maximum roundness deviation of 0.05 mm. The net filament weight is 750 g, and the filament length is approximately 103 m. Available in transparent and black colors.
Thermal Properties: The melt mass-flow rate (MFR) is 6.2 g/10min. The glass transition temperature is 50 ˚C, and the melting temperature ranges from 185 to 195 ˚C. Thermal shrinkage is 12 ± 2%, and the specific gravity is 1.14.
Mechanical Properties: Tensile modulus is 579.0 MPa, tensile stress at yield is 27.8 MPa, and tensile stress at break is 34.4 MPa. Elongation at yield is 20.0%, and elongation at break is 210.0%. Flexural strength is 24.0 MPa, and flexural modulus is 463.5 MPa. Izod impact strength is 34.4 kJ/m2, and hardness is 74 (Shore D).

Notes Properties reported here are average of a typical batch. The 3D printed test specimens were printed in the XY plane, using the normal quality profile in Cura 2.1, an Ultimaker 2+, a 0.4 mm nozzle, 90% infill, 250 ˚C nozzle temperature and 60 ˚C build plate temperature. The values are the average of 5 transparent and 5 black specimens for the tensile, flexural, and impact tests. The Shore hardness D was measured in a 7-mm-thick square printed in the XY plane, using the normal quality profile in Cura 2.5, an Ultimaker 3, a 0.4 mm print core and 100% infill. Ultimaker is constantly working...
