Polyamide 6

3D Printer Filament

Edition Number :
20181031
Edition Date :
October 31, 2018

Clariant polyamide 6 3D printer filament is made of a good flowing Polyamide 6 that results in high performance 3D printed parts. Clariant Hostanox® P-EPQ® and Nylostab® S-EED® are added via a Renol® masterbatch to improve resistance to thermo-oxidative degradation and minimize yellowing due to ultraviolet radiation.

Benefits

Printing Parameters

  • Print Temperature = 250-280°C
  • Print Speed = 20-50 mm/s
  • Bed Adhesion = directly on glass, polyimide film or a PEI surface all with a thin coating of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) based glue
  • Bed Temperature = ideally heated up to 70°C
  • Fan Settings = medium to high

Note: parameters are dependent on printer used; Clariant tests were performed on an Ultimaker 3 extended and a 3ntr A4 V2 printer.
