PA 12 40% Glass-Filled Black
A slightly less durable material that offers significant heat deflection.
What is PA 12 Glass-Filled Black?
PA 12 40% Glass-Filled Black is a 40% glass-filled nylon. Final parts are dyed black. The biggest advantage offered by this material is the heat deflection temperature of 248°F when measured at 264 psi, ranking 2nd best after PA 12 Mineral-Filled.
Applications
Multi Jet Fusion’s PA 12 black is often used to build housings, enclosures, and fixtures, and can work well for snap fits and hinges.
Tolerances
For well-designed parts, tolerances of ±0.012 in. plus ±0.002 in./in. for each additional inch can typically be achieved. Note that tolerances may change depending on part geometry.
Key Product Benefits
- Near isotropic mechanical properties
- Water and air proof without additional treatment
