PA 12 40% Glass-Filled Black

A slightly less durable material that offers significant heat deflection. 

PA 12 40% Glass-Filled Black

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
