A popular option for high cycle jigs and automation components, this PA 6 Nylon reinforced with chopped Kevlar fibers provides excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, and elevated abrasion resistance.

Advantages:

  • High strength

  • Improved abrasion resistance

  • 113*C (235*F) heat deflection temperature

Disadvantages:

  • Cost

  • Limited color selection

  • Absorbs moisture from atmosphere, must be stored dry

Why use Nylon Kevlar:

  • Functional parts that need increased abrasion resistance for improved service life such as high cycle fixtures and robot grippers.

Our choice: Filamatrix Nylon Kevlar (PAKV)

Filamatrix nylon kevlar filament is a versatile and durable material that has gained significant attention in the additive manufacturing industry. This composite filament combines the strength and abrasion resistance of kevlar with the flexibility and ease of processing of nylon, creating a unique blend of properties that make it well-suited for a wide range of applications.
