PolyMide PA6-GF has transitioned to Polymakers Fiberon range and is now sold as Fiberon PA6-GF25 (same product, new name and packaging)
Fiberon™ is polymakers family of fiber-reinforced composite filaments developed to provide outstanding mechanical performance for a range of engineering applications.
Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 is an industrial glass fiber reinforced PA6 (Nylon 6) filament featuring 25% chopped glass fibers by weight. The material exhibits excellent thermal and mechanical properties without sacrificing the layer adhesion like with many other glass-fiber reinforced filaments. This is achieved through Polymakers Fiber-Adhesion™ technology which optimizes the surface chemistry of the fibers to achieve better dispersion and bonding to the Nylon 6 matrix and delivers an outstanding filament for functional applications. Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 offers an excellent cost-to-performance ratio for many end-use and functional applications.
Why choose PA6-GF25
- Excellent Stiffness & Strength - Featuring a tensile modulus up to 5.3 GPA on the XY axis and 3.3 GPA on the Z axis, Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 combines excellent stiffness and toughness to deliver a versatile and high performance filament for a wide variety of high performance and dry industrial or engineering applications[1].
- Excellent Heat Resistance - Featuring a heat deflection temperature of up to 191°C after annealing[2], Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 can be used to print parts working in a wide temperature range and has been utilized to create custom lab equipment working at temperatures as low as -190°C.
- Outstanding Layer Adhesion - Most fiber reinforced materials show a decrease in z-axis layer adhesion when compared with their non-fiber reinforced Nylons, producing a part that is only stronger on the X-Y axis but detrimental to the Z axis. Fiber-Adhesion™ technology not only solves this problem but actually increases Z axis tensile strength creating more isotropic parts that are strong in every direction.
- Warp-Free™ - Warp-Free™ technology enables the production of Nylon-based filaments that can be 3D printed with excellent dimensional stability and near-zero warpage. This is achieved by the fine control of microstructure and crystallization behaviour of Nylon, which enables the material to fully release the internal stress before solidification. The Warp-Free™ technology is designed to work best with minimal bed temperatures.
- Wear Resistant and Tough - Parts printed in Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 display excellent strength and wear resistant properties.
- Improved Printability – Unlike many other Nylon filaments, Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 is extremely easy to work with, exhibiting excellent dimensional stability. It is compatible with most filament-based 3D printers with no heated bed or chamber required!
- Uncompromised Quality - Polymakers leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing ensure reliable printing and consistency across spools and batches.
[1] Most Nylon parts in the real world undergo a process called "Moisture conditioning" which improves toughness and flexibility of the Nylon while reducing tensile strength and stiffness. Unless protected with a moisture barrier, PA6-GF shows a greater change in mechanical properties when subjected to water / high humidity in comparison to long-chain nylon filaments like PA12-CF or PA612-CF. In simple terms PA6-GF will typically offer the best properties in a dry application, but for a wet or high humidity application a longer chain nylon such as PA612 or PA12 may be better.
[2] Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 displays the best mechanical and thermal properties when fully crystallized. The printed part will not reach full crystallization during the printing process, an additional step is required: Annealing. Fiberon™ PA6-GF25 can be annealed in the oven at 100˚C for 16 hours right after the printing process.
