PolyMide™ is a family of Nylon/polyamide based filaments. Produced with Polymaker’s Warp-Free™ technology, PolyMide™ filaments deliver engineering properties intrinsic to Nylon and ease of printing. 

PolyMide™ PA6-GF is an industrial glass fibre reinforced PA6 (Nylon 6) filament featuring 25% chopped glass fibres by weight. The material exhibits excellent thermal and mechanical properties without sacrificing the layer adhesion like with many other glass-fibre reinforced filaments. This is achieved through Polymakers Fibre-Adhesion™ technology which optimises the surface chemistry of the fibres to achieve better dispersion and bonding to the Nylon 6 matrix and delivers an outstanding filament for functional applications. PolyMide™ PA6-GF offers an excellent cost-to-performance ratio for many end-use and functional applications.

Features

• Excellent Stiffness & Strength - Featuring a tensile modulus up to 4.4 GPA on the XY axis and 3.3 GPA on the Z axis, PolyMide™ PA6-GF combines excellent stiffness and toughness to deliver a versatile and high-performance filament for a wide variety of high performance and dry industrial or engineering applications[1].
• Excellent Heat Resistance - Featuring a heat deflection temperature of up to 191°C after annealing[2], PolyMide™ PA6-GF can be used to print parts working in a wide temperature range and has been utilised to create custom lab equipment working at temperatures as low as -190°C.
• Outstanding Layer Adhesion - Most fibre reinforced materials show a decrease in z-axis layer adhesion when compared with their non-fibre reinforced Nylons, producing a part that is only stronger on the X-Y axis but detrimental to the Z axis. Polymakers new technology in PolyMide™ PA6-GF not only solves this problem but actually increases Z axis tensile strength creating more isotropic parts that are strong in every direction.
• Warp-Free™ - Warp-Free™ technology enables the production of Nylon-based filaments that can be 3D printed with excellent dimensional stability and near-zero warpage. This is achieved by the fine control of microstructure and crystallisation behaviour of Nylon, which enables the material to fully release the internal stress before solidification. The Warp-Free™ technology in PolyMide™ PA6-GF is designed to work best with minimal bed temperatures.
• Wear Resistant and Tough - Parts printed in PolyMide™ PA6-GF display excellent strength and wear resistant properties.
• Improved Printability – Unlike many other Nylon filaments, PolyMide™ PA6-GF is extremely easy to work with, exhibiting excellent dimensional stability. It is compatible with most filament-based 3D printers with no heated bed or chamber required!
• Uncompromised Quality - Polymakers leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing ensure reliable printing and consistency across spools and batches.

[1] Most Nylon parts in the real world undergo a process called "Moisture conditioning" which improves toughness and flexibility of the Nylon while reducing tensile strength and stiffness. Unless protected with a moisture barrier, PA6-GF shows a greater change in mechanical properties when subjected to water / high humidity in comparison to long-chain nylon filaments like PA12-CF or PA612-CF. In simple terms PA6-GF will typically offer the best properties in a dry application, but for a wet or high humidity application a longer chain nylon such as PA612 or PA12 may be better. See "Specifications & FAQ" tab to learn more about what moisture conditioning is, how it works and if it's relevant to your application.
[2] PolyMide™ PA6-GF displays the best mechanical and thermal properties when fully crystallised. The printed part will not reach full crystallisation during the printing process, an additional step is required: Annealing. PolyMide™ PA6-GF can be annealed in the oven at 80˚C for 6 hours right after the printing process.
