Advantages
Excellent Chemical and Oil Resistance
The powder is highly resistant to a wide array of chemicals, including oils, greases, and solvents. This chemical robustness ensures longevity and dependable performance in demanding industrial environments where parts are regularly exposed to harsh substances.
True Black Color Without Dyeing
Unlike some black powders that require additional dyeing steps post-printing, INFINAM PA 6003 P delivers a true black color directly from printing. This reduces manufacturing steps and costs, while providing aesthetically superior parts with uniform color and finish.
High Toughness Combined with Softness
INFINAM PA 6003 P offers a unique balance of toughness and softness, which enables the production of parts that can absorb shocks and impacts effectively without cracking or breaking. This makes it suitable for both functional prototypes and durable end-use components requiring mechanical resilience.
Food Contact and Safety Compliance
The material meets strict food contact regulations, expanding its versatility into applications in the medical, healthcare, and food processing industries where hygiene and safety are paramount.
UV and Weather Resistance
The black nylon powder is durable under UV exposure and outdoor conditions, ensuring that parts can be used reliably in external environments without significant degradation, discoloration, or mechanical property loss.
