15 m Sample | 1.75 mm | Nylon AF80 Aramid
Description
This filament is made of polyamide 12 reinforced with 8 % of aramid fibers. Its benefits are tribological properties, great chemical resistance, high stability under a wide range of temperatures, and great processing.
All of these make it suitable for the fabrication of products like an unwinding wheel, bearings, or cogwheels. It's a durable material that resists a wide range of chemicals, including car fluids.
