PA6 GK10 filament Spectrum Filaments 1,75 mm / 0,75 kg

Glass-filled Nylon PA6 GK10 Spectrum Filaments

Glass-filled Nylon PA6 GK10 is a high-temperature polyamide filled with glass microspheres. It is a PA6-based material with hollow glass beads, making it stiffer and lighter than the base (polyamide). Its feature is low exposure to moisture, resistance to high temperatures and good electrical insulating properties compared to unmodified PA6 or PA66. In addition, Spectrum PA6 GK10 has low linear shrinkage (up to 0.3 - 0.5 %).

Spectrum PA6 GK10 has similar thermal properties as the carbon fiber (CF) version, but is an electrical insulator. The material is not as abrasive to the nozzles as the carbon fiber (CF) version, and is much lighter than pure polyamide, so it can reduce the weight of the final impression.

To obtain very attractive technical properties of Spectrum PA6 GK10, it is necessary to follow the basic rules of storage of such materials (in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15 %). For best results on the printed object, it is recommended that you dry the material before use.

Material characteristics

  • High temperature up to 160 °C for short-time operation (max. 200 h).
  • High temperature up to 120 °C for long-time operation (20.000 h).
  • Heat distortion temperature – HDT A 90 °C (ISO 75).
  • Water absorption below 0.3 % (23 °C / 24 h).
  • High creep resistance.
  • High hardness and rigidity of the printed items.
  • Chemical resistance to lubricants and oils.
  • A wide range of applications.
  • Very robust interlayer lamination.
  • High impact resistance.
  • A relatively high resistance to thermal ageing.

Usage PA6 GK10

  • End-use parts.
  • Tooling.
  • Functional prototyping.
  • Industrial modelling.
  • Production of slide bearings, gear wheels and racks, sweep-off gears and guide rolls operated in elevated temperatures up to 120 °C on a prolonged basis and up to 160 °C on a short-time basis.
  • All types of ring and plate seals with an increased chemical and corrosion resistance.

  • Outer diameter - 200 mm.
  • Width - 55 mm.
  • Inner diameter - 52 mm.
  • Weight of empty coil - ± 220 g.

Verify quality of 3D plastic thread 

Spectrum Filaments is the only company in Poland and one of the few in the world that has a tool for testing purchased filaments. VERIFY YOUR SPOOL is the most accurate quality control system on the market, ensuring that Spectrum Filaments products meet his stringent requirements.

Filament for 3D printers is produced by free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult extrusion processing technologies, due to the particularly significant influence of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization. During the manufacturing process, each 1mm of Spectrum Filaments is continuously measured in 2 axes with an accuracy of ±0.8 µm, resulting in a quality end product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of an online presentation, individually for each coil produced:

  • diameter travel along the entire length of the coil;
  • average diameter;
  • ovality;
  • standard deviation.
