Nylon filament (PA12) is especially useful for mechanical and technical applications, thanks to its resistance to heat, alcohol and chemicals. It has an extremely long life, is robust and resistant to wear. In addition, it can be easily worked with metal tools and simply polished, WAS makes it a versatile and functional material. Nylon PA12 retains its properties even at temperatures below 0°C and is therefore suitable for use in a wide temperature range.
It is remarkably flexible – it can stretch up to 50% before it breaks. Nylon PA12 has excellent chemical resistance, including hydraulic fluids, oils, fuels, fats, salt water and solvents. This makes it an excellent choice for 3D printing in the automotive and industrial sectors. However, nylon filament is not resistant to concentrated acids and bases. Fiberlogic Nylon PA12 is an essential material for any technical workshop using a 3D printer. For even more demanding projects, we recommend reinforced nylon filaments such as PA12+CF15 (carbon fiber) and PA12+GF15 (glass fiber).
Due to material shrinkage during printing, a 3D printer with closed and heated chamber is required. This ensures an even temperature around the printed element.
