Overview
PA12-GB fills nylon 12 with 40% glass beads, raising stiffness roughly 50% over unfilled PA12 (2800-2900 MPa modulus) with outstanding dimensional stability.
Strength and elongation are identical in XY and Z, making it dependable for stiff housings, fixtures and tooling that must not creep or flex.
Key Properties
Typical datasheet values; printed parts are anisotropic and XY-direction values are shown unless noted.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 30 MPa (XY 與 Z 相同) |
| Tensile modulus | 2800–2900 MPa |
| Elongation at break | 6.5 % |
| Part density | 1.3 g/cm³ |
| HDT @ 0.45 MPa | 173 °C |
| Izod impact (notched) | 2.7 kJ/m² |
Typical Applications
- High-stiffness housings and enclosures
- Fixtures and tooling
- Dimensionally critical functional parts
Printing & Handling Notes
Trades ductility (6.5% elongation) for stiffness — avoid snap fits and living hinges in this material.
