Kimya PA Carbon
Note: Spools will be ready for orders in September
In the dynamic world of 3D printing, finding the right material that balances strength, stability, and ease of use can be a game-changer. Enter the Kimya PA Carbon, a nylon-based filament reinforced with carbon fibers, designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance applications. This engineering thermoplastic stands out due to its exceptional mechanical properties, making it an ideal choice for creating parts that require high strength and durability.
Features
Exceptional Mechanical Properties:
Kimya PA Carbon is renowned for its impressive mechanical strength and stiffness. The integration of carbon fibers into the nylon matrix significantly enhances its structural integrity, allowing for the creation of parts that can withstand substantial stress and strain. This makes it an excellent material for applications in industries where durability and reliability are paramount, such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. Kimya PA Carbon helps you achieve parts that are robust, with high dimensional stability and a nice matte finish!
Temperature and Chemical Resistance:
One of the standout features of Kimya PA Carbon is its excellent resistance to high temperatures (until 120°C) and chemicals. This property ensures that printed parts maintain their performance and dimensional stability even in elevated heat environments. Whether it’s under the hood of a car or in a high-temperature industrial setting, parts made from this filament can endure challenging conditions without compromising their integrity.
Ease of Printing and Dimensional Stability:
Despite its advanced properties, Kimya PA Carbon is surprisingly easy to print. It performs well on open chamber 3D printers, similar to other nylon filaments like Kimya PA6-CO. The carbon fibers not only contribute to the material’s strength but also play a crucial role in preventing warping during the printing process, ensuring a smooth and reliable print every time. Additionally, the filament leaves a nice matte finish to the printed parts, enhancing their aesthetic appeal.
Moisture Sensitivity and Preparation:
Like all polyamides, Kimya PA Carbon is sensitive to moisture. To achieve the best results, it is essential to dry the filament before printing at 80°C for 24 hours (mandatory). Proper preparation ensures that the material maintains its optimal properties, leading to higher quality and more consistent prints.
In summary, Kimya PA Carbon is a top-tier choice for those seeking a robust, reliable, and easy-to-use material for high-strength applications. Its superior mechanical properties, resistance to heat and chemicals, and excellent printability make it a standout filament in the 3D printing arena
