Polyamide 6 (PA6) is the most common extruded polyamide. It is known in industry for its good damping properties and impact resistance, as well as good toughness at low temperatures. It is ideal for bearings and gears, for example, as they would run quietly.
This material, developed by Nanovia, combines mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance.
The PA6 filament does not incorporate recycled or recovered material. Thanks to these qualities, PA6 filament is perfect for 3D printing, achieving high print quality.
PA-6, also known as nylon, is widely used in the automotive industry. It is also used for functional prototypes, hinges and even gears.
PA6 has a high sensitivity to moisture and must be kept in dry conditions at all times. For optimal results, it is recommended that you read the product's usage tips.
PA6 filament is designed for the best 3D printing results.

It must be taken into account that PA6 is a material with a certain difficulty in printing, due to the warping effect it can generate.
PA6 is a very hygroscopic material, so it is advisable to store PA6 pellets in an airtight bag or use desiccant bags to prevent them from absorbing moisture. If the pellets have moisture in them, the filament that is manufactured may contain small imperfections that can negatively affect the final result.
