  • SLS Nylon 12 CF (PA 603-CF): A carbon-filled variant of SLS nylon with dark grey coloration. The carbon filler increases the stiffness of the material while decreasing the weight. Carbon-filled materials can be electro-static dissipative (ESD). CF materials are ideal for elevated temperatures, and high-performance applications, and anywhere where high stiffness is required.

  • SLS Nylon 12 HST (PA 620-MF): This mineral-filled nylon 12 variant provides exceptional stiffness and dimensional stability even at high heat. MF materials have an HDT of 363° F (184° C). Mechanical properties are anisotropic due to mineral orientation on the XY plane. (View spec sheet)

SLS Material Comparison Chart

SLS_Comparion_Chart.png

Above: This chart compares key aspects of elongation, flexibility, and heat deflection temperatures across different SLS materials and blends. Note that added fillers typically decrease elongation before breaking, but can increase rigidity. Nylon 11 melts at a higher temperature than nylon 12, giving it a slightly higher HDT for the flexible material.
