Description
| WearX PA6 has
been modified for enhanced wear resistance for greatly improved wear
resistance vs. standard PA6 (3X improvement!). WearX PA6 offers a harder surface,
improved dimensional stability, and a matte surface appearance. This material
was inspired by the need for an enhanced material specifically formulated to
resist sliding and rotational wear. End Use Tip: Ideal for 3D printing net shape or near-net shape tribological applications that were previously machined from stock shapes such as Nylatron GS MoS2 filled nylons. Pro Tip: Wear resistance gradually diminishes as in-use temperatures rise and are limited in this formulation to 120C. WearX PA6 was formulated for enhanced wear resistance under dry conditions, but the addition of external lubricants will extend wear-life, especially at elevated temperatures and under increased loading and/or speeds (high PV’s). |
Benefits of WearX Wear Resistant Nylon Filament :
- 3X Improved Wear Resistance vs. Unfilled AmideX PA6 Copolymer
- High strength 62 MPa tensile str. with lightly lower impact / elongation vs. unfilled nylon
- Improved chemical resistance compared to many other traditional 3D printing filaments
- Excellent printability with a more matte surface than unfilled PA6-66 copolymers
- Good thermal properties with a Tg of 76C, 143C HDT, and Tm of 200C

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.
