Spectrum Nylon PA6 GK10 0,75 kg

Filament Spectrum PA6 GK10

Spectrum PA6 GK10 is a high-temperature engineering material based on polyamide 6 (PA6) filled with glass microbeads. This filament is designed for professional users who require high mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and dimensional stability in their 3D prints.

Key Features

• Glass microbead filling: The addition of glass microbeads increases material stiffness and reduces its weight compared to pure polyamide
• Thermal resistance: Allows long-term operation at temperatures up to 120°C and short-term up to 160°C.
• Low shrinkage: Exhibits low linear shrinkage during processing, contributing to better dimensional stability of prints.
• Reduced moisture absorption: Water absorption is less than 0.3% (23°C / 24 h), which is less than pure PA6 or PA66
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils, greases, and hydrocarbons.
• Electrical insulator: Unlike the carbon fiber version, this material is electrically non-conductive

Technical Specifications

• Diameter: 1.75 mm (tolerance +/- 0.05 mm)
• Spool weight: 750 g
• Recommended printing temperature: 260-280°C
• Recommended bed temperature: 80-100°C
• Recommended printing speed: 30-60 mm/s

Areas of Application

• Functional prototypes requiring high stiffness and thermal resistance
• Industrial components and parts for end-use in demanding conditions
• Automotive and aerospace industries
• Manufacturing of gears, bearings, and components exposed to high loads
• Applications requiring chemical resistance

Storage

To achieve optimal filament properties, it is important to follow proper storage procedures:

• Storage: Keep the filament in a sealed container with a moisture absorber.
• Storage conditions: Store in a dry and dark environment.
• Drying: We recommend drying the material before printing. For effective moisture removal, you can use a filament dryer.

Limitations

• Requires higher printing temperatures than common filaments
• May be abrasive for standard print nozzles, use of more durable nozzles is recommended
• Requires good ventilation during printing due to possible fumes

Spectrum PA6 GK10 combines the advantages of polyamide 6 with the properties of glass microbeads, making it a versatile material for demanding applications in industrial and functional prototyping.
