Nylon FX256

The nylon filaments provide great chemical and wear resistance. The objects are printed with high interlayer adhesion. The functionality of objects is good under a wide range of temperatures.

Working temperature: 235–260 °C
Heated bed: 80–110 °C
Available diameters: 1.75 mm
Diameter tolerance: +/- 0.05 mm
Weight: 750 g of filament (+ 230 g spool)
The length of the filament:
325 m (1.75 mm, 750 g)

Nylon FX256 is a high-tech material that retains its excellent functional properties under a wide range of temperatures. Perfect for the most resistant prints.

It exhibits very high interlayer adhesion while flexible in a thin layer. Its low friction coefficient and high-temperature resistance make it an excellent choice for printing functional and technical parts. It’s a durable material that resists against a wide range of chemicals, including car fluids. 

Features:

  • Exceptional chemical resistance
  • Incredibly durable and versatile
  • Good interlayer adhesion
  • Wear resistance
  • High impact resistance preserved also under low temperatures (at -40 °C)
  • Resilience
  • Heat resistance up to 140 °C
  • Lower moisture absorption than other types of polyamide
  • Good dimensional stability
  • Safe for food contact applications according to EU regulation (not for Traffic Black colour)
  • Safe for food contact applications according to U.S. FDA regulation (only colour version “Natural”)
  • Safe to use in electrical and electronic equipment
  • Possibility of sterilization in the autoclave
  • Recyclable
