Product Description
Zytel® 3D filament with 30% glass fiber reinforced nylon, black, based on DuPont ultra low shrinkage polymer technology. Zytel® combines outstanding heat resistance with chemical- and hydrolysis-resistance. Zytel® nylon materials are used by customers across several industries (automotive, electrical, electronics, furniture, sporting goods, oil and gas etc.).
** Don't Forget ** Nylon loves to absorb moisture! When this happens you can get poor layer adhesion, weak parts and even a higher likelihood for a clogged nozzle. For best results, we recommend printing with the 3DC Drybox.
