Description
Our PA12+GF30 glass fiber reinforced Nylon 12 (PA12) is our next generation of high performance polyamide printing! PA12 offers exceptional chemical, mechanical, thermal properties – making it an ideal material for demanding engineering-grade applications. PA12 absorbs significantly less moisture than PA6 (5X less moisture!). Lower moisture absorption results in better retention of mechanical properties after exposure to humidity and better dimensional stability. Polyamides (PA) are the work horse of the plastics industry the world over thanks to their excellent mechanical, chemical, and thermal resistance. The addition of glass fiber reinforcement takes it to the next level and offers excellent stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability.

Benefits of FibreX Nylon 12+GF30 :

  • High thermal properties, with a CUT of 120C and HDT of 150C
  • Excellent strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range, up to 150C
  • Very low moisture absorption yielding improved retention of mechanical properties even when exposed to humid environments
  • Superior chemical resistances, especially when compared to PA6 nylons
  • Low shrinkage and warping for high dimensional stability and reproducible part-to-part measurements

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.

Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.

Material DETAILS

Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament

What Is It?

DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament. This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.

What Does It Do?

Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties: High strength High stiffness High chemical resistance Low thermal expansion

How Does It Work?

Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.

What Is It Good For?

Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity. For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
