Overview

PA (Polyamide) is an engineering plastic, characterised by its great resistance to impact and able to work continuously at a temperature of up to 120 ºC for an extended period of time.

Its semi-flexible behaviour derives from a semicrystalline structure, which impart strength and durability, best suited for the most demanding technical applications. A low coefficient of friction allows for a short-term use in contact with moving parts.

Compatibility: Only with BCN3D Epsilon 3D printers.

Applications

• Strong and flexible parts
• Structural components exposed to a harsh environment
• Parts demanding high fatigue endurance
• Bearings, nuts, rivets, washers and gears
• Cams, rollers, snap-fit joints and sliding components
• Plugs, connectors, jigs and fixtures
• Electronic covers and tool handles

Properties

• Exceptional impact resistance and good strength
• Low friction coefficient
• High abrasion resistance
• Thermal resistance (upt to 120ºC)
• Good resistance to oil and alkali
• Strongly hygroscopic
• Thermomechanical properties dependent on environmental humidity
