PA6 GK10

High temperature polyamide filled with glass micro-spheres

Filament Spectrum PA6 GK10 is made with LUVOCOM 3F PAHT® GK 9874 NT. The quality of the filament was entirely checked and is certified by Lehmann&Voss&Co KG.

Filament Spectrum PA6 GK10 (made with LUVOCOM 3F PAHT® GK 9874 NT)is a new, high-temperature PA6-based construction material in natural colour. Filled with hollow glass spheres, it is stiffer and lighter than the polyamide the material is based on. Its specific property is a low impact of moisture, high temperature resistance and good electrical insulation properties as compared to unmodified PA6 or PA66. In addition, Spectrum PA6 GK10 (made with LUVOCOM 3F PAHT® GK 9874 NT) features a low linear shrinkage (up to 0.3-0.5%).

Spectrum PA6 GK10 (made with LUVOCOM 3F PAHT® GK 9874 NT) has similar thermal properties as the carbon fibre (CF) version, while being an electrical insulator. The material is not as abrasive to nozzles as carbon fiber (CF) version and is much lighter than pure polyamide, so it can reduce the weight of the final print.

To attain the very attractive properties of Spectrum PA6 GK10 (made with LUVOCOM 3F PAHT® GK 9874 NT), 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.
