Production-grade, Durable Nylon With Excellent Surface Quality and Feature Details

DuraForm PA12 Black is ideal for industrial applications including parts designed for low- to mid-volume production, functional testing, and prototyping. This high recyclability material matches the toughness of injection molded thermoplastic parts and proves to be more cost-effective with a low refresh rate. Good control over particle size and distribution enables outstanding feature details and a smooth surface finish. DuraForm PA12 Black is encapsulated carbon (versus a blended powder) and delivers solid black parts with better depth of color.

  • Benefits

    • Fire retardant Nylon 11
    • Superior mechanical properties while maintaining high levels of flame retardancy
    • Capable of withstanding intense functional testing and use
    • Only SLS material certified to pass FAR 25.853 60 second vertical burn requirement
    • Achieve Flame, Smoke, and Toxicity (FST) rating that allows AM of parts for production use
       

  • Features

    • Builds prototypes for functional testing
    • Ideal for industrial applications
    • Supports part finishing and will not lose color with surface damage
    • UV-stable and good isotropic properties
    • Precipitated black (encapsulated) gives deeper, more colorfast black than blended powders
