UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide for high-performance tribological applications

UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide is a revolutionary Nylon 612 carbon fibre copolymer engineered for industrial environments where friction, wear, and mechanical sliding are critical factors. This high-performance, PFAS-free filament is specifically developed to provide a low-friction surface combined with the exceptional stiffness of carbon fibre. It serves as a superior additive alternative to traditionally machined POM (Polyacetal/Delrin) for complex, custom-designed mechanical components.

One of the most impressive characteristics of Nylon CF Slide is its thermal and structural resilience. When properly cured, the material offers temperature stability up to 180°C and maintains an incredible Z-tensile strength of over 40 MPa, ensuring your parts remain robust even under significant multi-axis stress.

Key features:

• Optimised tribological properties: Engineered for low wear and low friction, making it ideal for sliding parts, bearings, and moving assemblies.
• High Z-axis strength: Boasts a Z-tensile strength greater than 40 MPa, overcoming the traditional weakness of 3D printed layers in demanding applications.
• PFAS-free composition: A future-proof, environmentally conscious high-performance material that complies with evolving chemical regulations.
• Extreme temperature resistance: Capable of withstanding environments up to 180°C after a curing process, perfect for under-the-bonnet or industrial heat applications.
• Dimensional stability: The Nylon 6/12 base ensures significantly lower moisture absorption compared to standard Nylon (PA6), resulting in easier printing and better part accuracy.
