Spectrum Nylon PA6 Neat natural 0.75 kg

Filament Spectrum PA6 Neat

Spectrum Nylon PA6 Neat is a high-temperature engineering material based on polyamide 6 (PA6) in natural color. This filament is designed for professional users who require high mechanical strength, temperature resistance, and chemical resistance in their 3D prints.

Key Features

• High mechanical strength
• Temperature resistance up to 120°C long-term (20,000 hours) and 160°C short-term
• Low linear shrinkage during processing (0.3%), which is lower than common PA6 filaments
• Chemical resistance to oils and lubricants
• Low water absorption (<0.3%, 23°C / 24h), which is lower than most nylon filaments
• Good friction and wear properties, suitable for sliding bearings and applications with moving parts
• Easy processability on common 3D printers with heated bed compared to some specialized high-performance filaments

Technical Specifications

• Diameter: 1.75 mm (tolerance +/- 0.05 mm)
• Spool weight: 750 g
• Recommended printing temperature: 250-280°C
• Recommended bed temperature: 60-80°C
• Recommended printing speed: 30-70 mm/s

Areas of Application

• Production of gears and bearings
• Seals with increased chemical resistance
• Functional prototypes
• Industrial modeling
• Parts for end-use in demanding conditions
• Applications requiring high temperature and chemical resistance, print accuracy, and long-term stability of prints

Proper Storage and Use

To achieve optimal properties, it is important to:

1. Storage: Keep the filament in a sealed container with a moisture absorber to minimize exposure to air humidity.
2. Storage conditions: Store in a dry and dark environment with relative humidity below 15%. This ensures that the filament remains in ideal condition for printing.
3. Drying: We recommend drying the material before printing. For effective moisture removal, you can use a filament dryer designed specifically for this purpose. Dryers usually allow you to set the optimal temperature and drying time, which helps achieve the best printing results.
4. Printing conditions: For optimal results, printing in a heated chamber is recommended, which helps maintain a stable temperature during the printing process and minimize deformations.

By following these procedures, you will ensure consistent print quality and full utilization of the potential of this advanced material.
