Ideal material for durable parts, Nylon 12 is the best choice for printing high-stress working mechanisms. It is much less hygroscopic than Nylon 6 and extremely stable both thermally and chemically. Is extremely tough with superior tensile strength, elongation at break and impact strength, high fatigue endurance, and low friction coefficient. It shows excellent physical properties, such as flexibility in thin walls and superior mechanical resistance. Ideal material for durable parts.
Main application
Concept modeling, Educational projects, Design objects, Ideal for tough objects with living hinges (one or two-layer walls are flexible), resistant to chemicals, and practically unbreakable.
Benefits
- Extremely tough with superior tensile strength, elongation at break & impact strength, high fatigue endurance, and low friction coefficient
- Very low moisture absorption before and after printing
- Superior chemical and UV resistance
- High heat resistance (over 120°C)
- Very low warping
