Fiberon PA612-ESD

Fiberon™ PA612-ESD: Industrial-Grade Nylon for ESD-Safe Applications

Polymaker's Fiberon™ PA612-ESD is a next-generation nylon filament engineered for professionals who demand high-performance materials with reliable electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. This advanced composite combines a robust nylon 612 base with a unique blend of carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers, creating an internally conductive structure that safely dissipates static charges. It is the ideal material for printing critical components in the electronics, industrial, and manufacturing sectors.

Fiberon™ PA612-ESD is designed to protect sensitive components from static damage, streamline production processes, and create durable parts that withstand harsh environments.

Key Features:

• Reliable ESD Protection: With a surface resistivity of 10⁴–10⁷ Ω/sq, Fiberon™ PA612-ESD provides consistent and dependable static dissipation. This makes it perfect for creating enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and tools for use with PCBs, cleanroom equipment, and other static-sensitive electronics.
• Superior Mechanical Performance: The 10% carbon fiber reinforcement delivers exceptional strength and stiffness. It boasts a high tensile strength of approximately 84 MPa (in the XY direction when dry) and a Young's modulus of around 4,294 MPa, resulting in stiff, dimensionally accurate prints.
• High-Temperature Stability: This filament maintains its mechanical integrity in demanding thermal environments. With a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of 157°C (at 0.45 MPa), it is suitable for parts that undergo processes like solvent baking or are exposed to high-temperature cycles.
• Low Warping and Easy Printing: Engineered for production environments, Fiberon™ PA612-ESD exhibits minimal warping and can be printed at high speeds, up to 300 mm/s, with excellent surface finish.
• AMS Compatibility: The 500g spools are designed to be compatible with popular automated material systems (AMS), ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow.

Recommended Printing Settings:

• Nozzle Temperature: 280 - 300°C
• Bed Temperature: 40 - 50°C
• Chamber Temperature: Not required.
• Printing Speed: Up to 300 mm/s
• Cooling Fan: OFF (to improve layer adhesion)
• Nozzle Type: A wear-resistant nozzle, such as hardened steel or ruby, is required due to the abrasiveness of the carbon fibers. A brass nozzle has a limited lifespan (approximately 9 hours) with this material.
• Drying: Dry the filament at 100°C for at least 10 hours before printing to ensure optimal performance. Nylon is hygroscopic, and printing with moist filament can cause poor layer adhesion and material degradation.
• Annealing: For optimal mechanical and thermal properties, anneal the printed part at 100°C for 10-16 hours. This process improves the overall strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability of the final part.
