Features

  • Excellent Stiffness & Strength - Featuring a tensile modulus up to 8.4 GPA on the XY axis and 3.7 GPA on the Z axis, Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is well suited for high performance industrial and engineering applications. Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 combines extreme stiffness and best-in-class tensile strength. Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is an excellent choice for dry applications[1] requiring stiffness and durability such as automotive brackets, jigs, ESD safe fixtures, aerospace, prosthetics and engineering.
  • Excellent Heat Resistance - Featuring a high heat resistance up to 215°C after annealing[2], Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 offers excellent heat resistance for demanding applications where heat and stress are critical design factors. This material lends itself perfectly to functioning automotive applications where a combination of heat resistance and mechanical properties are required. 
  • Outstanding Layer Adhesion - Most fiber reinforced materials show a decrease in z-axis layer adhesion when compared with their non-fiber reinforced Nylons, producing a part that is only stronger on the X-Y axis but detrimental to the Z axis. Polymakers new technology in Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 not only solves this problem but actually increases Z axis tensile strength creating more isotropic parts that are strong in every direction.
  • Warp-Free™ - Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 features Polymakers Warp-Free™ technology to deliver a reliable Nylon filament with excellent dimensional stability and near-zero warpage. This is achieved by the fine control of microstructure and crystallization behaviour of Nylon, which enables the material to fully release the internal stress before solidification. The Warp-Free™ technology in Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is designed to work best with minimal bed temperatures.
  • Wear Resistant and Tough - Parts printed in Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 display excellent toughness and wear resistant properties.
  • Improved Printability – Unlike many other Nylon filaments, Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 is extremely easy to work with, exhibiting excellent dimensional stability. It is compatible with most filament-based 3D printers with no heated bed or chamber required!
  • Uncompromised Quality - Polymakers leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing ensure reliable printing and consistency across spools and batches.

[1] Most Nylon parts in the real world undergo a process called "Moisture conditioning" which improves toughness and flexibility of the Nylon while reducing tensile strength and stiffness. Unless protected with a moisture barrier, PA6-CF shows a greater change in mechanical properties when subjected to water / high humidity in comparison to long-chain nylon filaments like PA12-CF or PA612-CF. In simple terms PA6-CF will typically offer the best properties in a dry application, but for a wet or high humidity application a longer chain nylon such as PA612 or PA12 may be better. See "Specifications & FAQ" tab to learn more about what moisture conditioning is, how it works and if it's relevant to your application.
[2] Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 displays the best mechanical and thermal properties when fully crystallized. The printed part will not reach full crystallization during the printing process, an additional step is required: Annealing. Fiberon™ PA6-CF20 can be annealed in the oven at 100˚C for 16 hours right after the printing process.

Technical Data

All PA6-CF20 specimens were printed with 300°C nozzle temperature, 50°C bed temperature, cooling fan OFF. Samples were printed with 100% infil, 2 shells and 3 top & bottom layers.

All samples were annealed after printing at 100°C for 16h.

Nylon is a semi-crystalline material, it's crystalline regions offer many properties, but in particular their structure deliver the heat resistance that nylon is known for. Annealing after printing is a critical process to achieve consistent crystallinity and complete the production process of nylon parts.

Mechanicla Properties

Dry state represents when PA6-CF20 part is printed and annealed.
Wet state represents if the PA6-CF20 part were submerged in water for 48 hours.

If your part is exposed to reasonable humidity (70% RH) but isn't exposed to water, your part would become moisture conditioned. To enter the wet state would require very high humidity, steam or submersion.

Nylon 6 based materials are moisture sensitive and their mechanical properties change. As they absorb moisture the toughness and flexibility increase, while tensile strength and stiffness decrease. This process is not permanent, if the part were dried, it would regain strength and stiffness.

No complaints after use
Color: Black/Yellow Accent
Always been a fan of Ironman watches especially the original. The negative display threw me off for a few days but getting used to it. Love the fit and size of it. Not to mention it's extremely light and you barely notice it after a bit. For under $40 if it malfunctions in a year or two I'll just buy another or one similar.

Bang for the buck
Color: Blackout
Let me previce this review by stating that I have had multiple fitness watches including Garmin suunto Timex and Casio. This watch has some limitations and I will get to them. The first thing is the design and functionality. The picture doesn't do this watch justice. It is sleek. Small enough to not be gaudy. But large enough to look appropriate regardless of your body size. I am 6' 180 lbs and its perfect. The functionality is great. Some watches require a college degree but this watch is simple to program and switch through modes. It has a lap counter countdown timer stop watch as well as time day date etc. It also has more features that don't interest me for fitness so I won't go into them. One complaint other reviewers have stated is with the black background it can be difficult to see display. To them I would reply the top right button is a light. Push it once to illuminate the display. Problem solved. Having a black background does make the display less visible. That's obvious to me but perhaps not everyone. With that being said I only have to use the light if I'm in a dark area. In normal room lighting it is easy to see. This watch does not have GPS capabilities which other watches I've had has. Add another zero to the price of this watch and you can have GPS too. I use this watch mainly for indoor fitness inc swimming and running on an indoor track and use my garmin outdoors. This is a great everyday watch and a great price. No issues no complaints.

6 years and still going
Color: Blackout, Color: Blackout
Owned for 6 years and still going strong. Worn daily, including showers. The only time I take it off is to sleep. The face is scratched up and some buttons worn smooth (I wear it on the inside of my wrist). A few tiny cracks are beginning to form on one of the wristband pieces. Replaced the battery after about 3 years. It has three alarms and I use them regularly. You can choose to set each alarm for daily, weekdays, or weekends. I also use the timer a lot. Indiglo gets used every morning and many evenings. You can disable modes that you never use, so you only see what you want. I never use chronograph, so I have that disabled. Incredible watch.

The watch of our era
Color: Blackout
Bought this ‘used’ but looks like only the box had some ‘damage’ but the watch was perfectly brand new. I’ve been wearing a timex Ironman watch since my tenth birthday. I’ve served in the Marine corps and wore one while on tour. I’ve worn them snorkeling and diving. I’m a mechanic and have worn it on my belt loop while working, and depending what I’m doing I’ll leave it on. I wear it in the shower, the pool, beach, kayaking, skydiving, mudding, surfing, fishing, shooting, and while relaxing in my recliner. I’ve only had one battery die, and it was easily replaced. This is the watch of our era. Stop reading this review and buy one!

Very dim
Color: Black/Yellow Accent
This was a gift for our son. The watch functions well, but I returned it because the screen was very hard to read.
