Description
Fiberon™ PA6-CF20: High-Strength Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon 6 Filament (Formerly PolyMide™ PA6-CF)
Engineered for Demanding Applications
Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is a carbon fiber reinforced PA6 (Nylon 6) filament containing 20% carbon fiber, designed for exceptional mechanical strength, stiffness, and heat resistance. The carbon fiber reinforcement dramatically improves rigidity and dimensional stability, making it ideal for functional prototypes, industrial tooling, automotive, and composite manufacturing applications.
Outstanding Performance Features
- Exceptional Strength & Stiffness: Tensile strength up to 109 MPa and Youngs modulus over 8.6 GPa (XY), providing robust, rigid parts.
-
High Heat Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 215°C, suitable for parts exposed to high thermal loads.
-
Superior Layer Adhesion: Fiber Adhesion™ technology ensures strong interlayer bonding and cohesive, durable prints.
- Dimensional Stability: Minimal warping and excellent size stability, even on large or complex prints.
- Chemical Resistance: Suitable for use in chemically aggressive environments.
Easy to Print for Advanced Users
While engineered for high performance, Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is optimized for reliable printing on advanced FDM/FFF 3D printers equipped with an all-metal hotend and a hardened nozzle due to the abrasive carbon fiber content. Filament drying and post-print annealing are recommended for best results.
Same Trusted Formula, New Name
Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is the same proven formula as PolyMide™ PA6-CF, though it may print in a slightly darker black shade than its predecessor.
Choose Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 for parts that demand maximum strength, heat resistance, and durability in industrial and engineering environments.
Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is the same great formula as PolyMide PA6-CF, although Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 may print in a slightly darker black shade color than its predecessor.
