Low shrinkage and high strength enhanced with the benefits of carbon fibers
Polyamide 6 is one of the strongest materials used in desktop 3D printing technology.
It is characterized by a combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, vibration damping capability, and abrasion resistance that is unparalleled by other fibers. The wide range of its properties can be successfully complemented by chemical resistance and the ability for continuous operation at high temperatures.By introducing the heat-stabilized composite material Spectrum PA6 Low Warp CF15S™ filled with carbon fibers, we have decided to raise the bar for nylon fibers even higher.
Spectrum PA6 Low Warp CF15S™ is a true specialist for tough conditions. The "LowWarp" variety is characterized by additional additives designed to improve flow during material extrusion, thereby enhancing the adhesion of material particles. The result of using 15% carbon fibers is more than double the stiffness and increased tensile strength (up to 120 MPa). In addition, Spectrum PA6 Low Warp CF15S has a higher HDT thermal resistance – 180 °C (0.45 MPa) compared to the unfilled version. The fiber content reduces the shrinkage characteristic of most high-temperature materials, which significantly facilitates the printing process and gives the prints an aesthetic "carbon" appearance.Spectrum PA6 Low Warp CF15S™ is the best choice for printing functional models that require high stiffness and permanent resistance to high temperatures and chemicals.
It can be successfully used in the automotive, aerospace, and modeling industries.
