The Kimya PA6-CO filament is a co-polymer based on a Nylon 6 grade. This unfilled polyamide has excellent tensile strength and very low warping behavior. Unlike other polyamide filaments on the market the PA6-CO is very easy to print and can be used seamlessly on open chamber 3D printers. It is the perfect standard polyamide go-to thanks to its inherent polyamide properties of high mechanical, chemical and heat resistance. Due to the general moisture sensitivity of polyamides, the filament must be dried before printing.
- Excellent printability even on open chamber printers
- Low warping
- Good wear resistance
2-years KIMYA warranty.
