- Description
- Technical Specification
Kimya PA Carbon is a carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon-based material. This engineering thermoplastic is known for its outstanding mechanical properties and excellent resistance to temperature and chemicals. The material can be used to manufacture hard, rigid parts. It is highly recommended for high-strength applications in high-temperature environments. Printed parts feature good dimensional stability and an attractive matte finish. The presence of carbon fibers also helps prevent distortion during printing.
Like our other nylon filament (Kimya PA6-CO), this material is very easy to print and can be used on open-chamber 3D printers. Due to the general moisture sensitivity of polyamides, the filament must be dried before printing.
- Excellent mechanical properties; hard and rigid.
- Very good heat resistance.
- Good dimensional stability and low deformation.
- Certifications REACH & RoHS
KIMYA 2-year warranty. Store away from light, moisture and heat to preserve product properties.
