BCN3D PA Natural | 2.85mm | 750g

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.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.

Some suggested 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

High-performance material with flexible applications

PA is a technical and competent material with an excellent impact strength and elongation at break. However, all this impact strength is compensated by a low level of stiffness that allows flexible applications.

Properties

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

Bed adhesion:

To ensure good bed adhesion use Magigoo.

Recommendations:

• Store it in an airtight container with desiccant.
• Dry filament before printing.Place it in an oven or in a dehydrator at 50ºC for 6 to 8 hours
• Enclosure is required for BCN3D Sigma and Sigmax printers.
