Technical Data Sheet for Ultrasint PA6 MF black

Version No.: 3.2, revised 11/2019

## General information

## Components

**Mineral-filled Polyamide 6-based powder for Laser Sintering**

## Product Description

All Ultrasint PA6 grades have in common that they show high modulus, high strength and excellent thermal 
distortion stability. These properties ensure precise feature control, very good mechanical properties and simple 
surface reprocessing of 3D printed parts.

Ultrasint PA6 MF black contains a mineral reinforcement. In contrast to simple dry blends, the reinforcement is 
embedded within the particles, leading to improved powder homogeneity, better spreading and easier recycling.
Tensile and flexural modulus, as well as impact strength are significantly higher compared to unfilled material.
Ultrasint PA6 MF black therefore lends itself for applications where high stiffness and high strength are the most 
important requirements – a material suitable for parts with demanding mechanical property combinations.

## Typical applications are:

▪ Engine compartment parts  
▪ Media flow & storage parts (i.e. oil)  
▪ Housings & covers  
▪ Tooling equipment & molds

## Delivery form & warehousing

Ultrasint PA6 MF black powder should be stored at 15 – 25°C in its originally sealed package in a clean and dry 
environment.

## Product safety

Mandatory and recommended industrial hygiene procedures and the relevant industrial safety precautions must 
be followed whenever this product is being handled and processed. Product is sensitive to humid environment 
conditions. For additional information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.

## For your information

Ultrasint PA6 MF black comes in solid black color. Electrical properties (e.g. volume resistivity, surface resistivity), chemical properties (e.g. resistance against particular substances) and tolerance for solvents are 
available upon request. Generally, these properties correspond to publicly available data on polyamides.
