Fiberon PA12-CF10

Polymaker Fiberon™ PA12-CF10 is a high-performance nylon filament that combines the strength and stiffness of carbon fiber with the low moisture absorption of PA12. This unique blend makes it an excellent choice for demanding applications where dimensional stability and durability are critical, even in humid environments.   

Key Features:

• Enhanced Strength and Stiffness: Reinforced with 10% carbon fiber, Fiberon™ PA12-CF10 exhibits significantly improved tensile strength, flexural modulus, and impact resistance compared to standard PA12 filaments. This results in lightweight yet robust parts capable of withstanding demanding mechanical loads.  
• Low Moisture Absorption: PA12 is known for its low moisture absorption compared to other nylons like PA6 or PA66. This inherent property is further enhanced in Fiberon™ PA12-CF10, making it less prone to warping, dimensional changes, and property degradation due to humidity.  
• Excellent Dimensional Stability: The combination of carbon fiber reinforcement and low moisture absorption ensures exceptional dimensional stability, resulting in accurate and consistent prints even in varying environmental conditions.   Improved Printability: Polymaker's advanced formulation and processing technology provide excellent flow properties and layer adhesion, making Fiberon™ PA12-CF10 easy to print with and achieving high-quality results.
• Chemical Resistance: This filament offers good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, oils, and greases, making it suitable for various industrial applications.

Applications:

• Functional Prototyping: Create durable and dimensionally accurate prototypes for testing and validation in demanding environments.  
• Aerospace: Manufacture lightweight and strong components for drones, UAVs, and other aerospace applications.  
• Automotive: Produce under-the-hood components, brackets, and housings that can withstand high temperatures and exposure to chemicals.  
• Sporting Goods: Print strong and lightweight parts for sporting equipment, such as protective gear, bike components, and recreational accessories.  
• Industrial Manufacturing: Create jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts for demanding applications where moisture resistance and durability are essential.

Note:

• Abrasion of the brass nozzle happens frequently when printing Fiberon™ PA12-CF10. Normally, the life of a brass nozzle would be approximately 9h. A wear-resistance nozzle, such as hardened steel and ruby nozzle, is highly recommended to be used with Fiberon™ PA12-CF10.
• Fiberon™ PA12-CF10 is sensitive to moisture and should always be stored and  used under dry conditions (relative humidity below 20%).
• If Fiberon™ PA12-CF10 is used as the support material for itself, please remove the support structure before excessive moisture absorption. Otherwise, the  support structure can be permanently bonded to the model.
• After the printing process, it is recommended to anneal the model in the oven at 100°C for 16 hours

Polymaker Fiberon™ PA12-CF10 offers a unique combination of strength, low moisture absorption, and dimensional stability, making it an ideal choice for professionals and makers seeking a high-performance nylon filament for demanding applications.
