purefil PA12 Filament – High-Performance Nylon for Demanding Applications

purefil PA12 is a high-quality nylon (polyamide 12) filament known for its exceptionally low moisture absorption, making it ideal for use in humid environments. This ensures high impact resistance, excellent sliding properties, and outstanding wear resistance, making it a top choice for functional prototypes and industrial applications.

With a low density of just 1 g/cm³, PA12 is one of the lightest engineering plastics available for 3D printing, offering significant weight savings without compromising strength. Its minimal shrinkage during printing allows for precise, stable prints with minimal warping, outperforming other nylon variants like PA6 or PA6.6 in terms of ease of printing.

purefil PA12 also excels in stress crack resistance and high fatigue strength, making it suitable for mechanically demanding applications. Additionally, it meets the European Regulation No. 10/2011 requirements for food-contact plastic materials, broadening its usability across various industries.

Key Benefits of PA12 Filament:

• Low moisture absorption – Performs well in humid conditions
• Outstanding transparency – Ideal for applications requiring clarity
• Easier to print than PA6 or PA6.6
• Minimal warping and shrinkage – Ensures dimensionally accurate prints
• Superior stress crack resistance – Withstands repeated mechanical stress
• Lightweight material – Low density of 1 g/cm³

Applications of PA12 Filament:

• Industrial components – Durable parts requiring mechanical resilience
• Functional prototypes – Reliable, impact-resistant models
• Gears and bushings – Excellent sliding properties for smooth operation
• Food-safe applications – Compliant with EU regulations

purefil PA12 filament is a great choice for engineers, manufacturers, and advanced makers looking for a high-performance material with exceptional stability and durability.
