Filament Spectrum PA6 GK10 1.75mm 0.75kg

Product detailed description

High temperature polyamide filled with glass microspheres

Filament Spectrum PA6 GK10 is a new high-temperature construction material based on PA6 in natural colour. Filled with hollow glass beads, it is stiffer and lighter than the polyamide on which the material is based. Its specific characteristics are low moisture content, high temperature resistance and good electrical insulation properties compared to unmodified PA6 or PA66. In addition, Spectrum PA6 GK10 has a low linear shrinkage (up to 0.3-0.5%).

Spectrum PA6 GK10 has similar thermal properties to the carbon fibre (CF) version, while being an electrical insulator. The material is not as abrasive to the nozzles as the carbon fibre (CF) version and is much lighter than pure polyamide, so it can reduce the weight of the final print.

In order to achieve the very attractive properties of Spectrum PA6 GK10 from a technical point of view, the basic rules of storage of these materials must be observed (in dry and dark conditions with humidity below 15%). To achieve the best possible printed object parameters, it is recommended to dry the material before processing.
