What is pa 12 material?

What is pa 12 material?

PA 12 (also known as Nylon 12) is a good general-use plastic with broad additive applications and is known for its toughness, tensile strength, impact strength and ability to flex without fracture. PA 12 has long been used by injection molders due to these mechanical properties.

What is pa11 material?

The high-performance plastic polyamide 11 (PA 11) is made from 100% renewable castor beans. PA 11, also known as nylon, is chemically and mechanically heat-resistant and is ideally suited for highly technical applications thanks to its durability.

What is PA2200?

PA2200 is a high-performance alternative to plastics like ABS or PA6 that have proven their value in injection moulding. The additively manufactured end products are just as strong, flexible and durable as moulded parts.

Is PA12 a food grade?

Polyamide parts have excellent long-term stability and are resistant against most chemicals. They can be made watertight by impregnation. The PA material used by Materialise is certified as biocompatible and food-safe under certain conditions.

How strong is PA12?

Technical specifications comparison

What is the difference between PA11 and PA12?

Unlike PA11, Nylon PA12 is a synthetic whitish fine powder derived mainly from petroleum sources. It is optimized as much as PA11 for the use as a laser sintering material. Nylon PA12 has many manufacturers which include Arkema and Evonik, whereas PA11 is only manufactured by Arkema.

Which is stronger ABS or nylon?

Nylon is a great material for making structural parts. Compared to ABS with a tensile strength of 4,700 psi, nylon’s estimated tensile strength of 7,000 psi is head and shoulders above ABS.

Is nylon PA12 biocompatible?

Considering the reported data, VISIONAIRE products made of medical grade nylon 12 and manufactured with the EOS system are biocompatible.
