Lightweight, durable nylon filament with carbon fiber
Spectrum PA12 CF15 is an advanced technical filament reinforced with 15% carbon fibers, offering exceptional strength, rigidity and dimensional stability. It provides outstanding thermal resistance, withstanding temperatures up to 170°C, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring durability in extreme conditions. It is also resistant to chemicals and moisture, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
The 15% carbon fiber reinforcement ensures significantly better layer adhesion, resulting in exceptional print durability. Thanks to the applied stress-relief technology, Spectrum PA12 CF15 offers excellent strength of the Z-axis, dimensional stability and enables printing even complex models without warping.
With its reduced weight (10% lighter compared to PA6 CF15) and strong interlayer adhesion, PA12 CF15 is an ideal material for professional projects where precision, durability and resistance to external factors are essential. It is a reliable solution for engineering and industrial use.
To attain the very attractive properties of Spectrum PA12 CF15, as regards the technical aspects, you need to follow the basic storage rules for such materials (in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%). To obtain the best parameters of the printed object possible, it is recommended to dry the material prior to work.
Tip: Due to the essential content of chopped carbon fibre, it is recommended to use nozzles with diameters exceeding the standard value of 0.4mm. The presence of carbon fibre may also cause wear of standard nozzles; thus, it is recommended to use hardened steel or ruby nozzles for prolonged application of Spectrum PA12 CF15.
