Nylon Glass - Temperature and Impact Resistance

Fuel resistant PA 6 Nylon with Glass Fiber reinforcement. Very high stiffness, tensile strength, and heat deflection temperature (HDT) with excellent impact strength.

Advantages:

• High strength

• Improved impact strength

• 152*C (305*F) heat deflection temperature

Disadvantages:

• Cost

• Limited color selection

• Absorbs moisture from atmosphere, must be stored dry

Why use Nylon Glass:

• Highest heat deflection temperature of any GZERO Additive supported material

• Best GZERO Additive supported material for parts that will experience shock loading and must remain rigid

Our choice: Filamatrix Nylon Glass (PAGL)

Filamatrix’s glass fiber nylon filament offers enhanced mechanical properties and durability, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications. This filament combines the strength of nylon with the reinforcement of glass fibers, resulting in parts that exhibit improved stiffness and reduced warping during printing. Suitable for a range of 3D printing projects, Filamatrix's glass fiber nylon is ideal for producing functional prototypes and end-use parts that require high impact resistance and overall toughness.
