Nylon: A Brief Introduction

Updated 1 min read

ePA is developed based on nylon 6/66 copolymer; Self-lubricating wear resistance makes it suitable for printing gears; High toughness and impact resistance, with an elongation at break of up to 175%, which can print strong and durable parts with high fracture resistance; Low shrinkage, not easy to warp and crack when printing.

Sellingpoint

High toughness
High impact resistance
Self-lubricating wear-resisting
Excellent printability
