Nylon 6 fibres are tough, possessing high tensile strength, elasticity and lustre. They are wrinkleproof and highly resistant to abrasion and chemicals such as acids and alkalis. The fibres can absorb up to 2.4% of water, although this lowers tensile strength. The glass transition temperature of Nylon 6 is 47 °C
Polyamides: Polyamides are a group of synthetic or natural polymers made up of repeating amide groups that are connected by amide links. The hydrogen bonds increase crystallinity, thermal resistance, and chemical resistance.
Optimizing with additives: For any given material, additives like glass fibers/carbon fibers are used in different percentage to ensure better mechanical, chemical, thermal and electrical properties.
Send an inquiry with information about the product you need so our team can pick the best option for additive and give you technical data.
Note: The difference between the statistics in the properties are influenced by the part dimentions and overall structure! Different color additives with specific chemical compositions that affect the properties of the part, the quality of the print, or the dimentional accuracy!

Nylon (PA 12), thanks to its resistance to heat, alcohol and chemicals, is particularly useful for mechanical and technical applications. It is extremely durable, strong and wear resistant.
Polyamides: Polyamides are a group of synthetic or natural polymers made up of repeating amide groups that are connected by amide links. The hydrogen bonds increase crystallinity, thermal resistance, and chemical resistance.
Optimizing with additives: For any given material, additives like glass fibers/carbon fibers are used in different percentage to ensure better mechanical, chemical, thermal and electrical properties.

Polypropylene, also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene. Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar.
Propylene: unsaturated organic compound
Polyolefin: thermoplastics that include polyethylene and polypropylene. They are produced by polymerising respectively ethylene and propylene.
Optimizing with additives: For any given material, additives like glass fibers/carbon fibers are used in different percentage to ensure better mechanical, chemical, thermal and electrical properties.
