Ultrafuse PA is suitable for a wide range of applications that operate within a larger temperature range than standard PA filaments. The Ultramid types from BASF are formulations based on PA6, PA66, and various co-polyamides such as PA6/66. Ultramid is characterised by its high mechanical strength, stiffness, and thermal stability. Additionally, Ultramid offers good toughness at low temperatures. Due to its excellent properties, this material has become indispensable in almost all areas of mechanical engineering for a variety of components and machine elements, as a high-quality electrical insulating material, and for many specialised applications. With Ultrafuse PA, it is possible to print semi-flexible, thin parts that are very stiff at greater thicknesses. It has a lower melting temperature than PA6 and PA66, allowing it to be printed at lower temperatures. Furthermore, it has better impact resistance than PA6 and PA66, opening up new application fields for end users. Depending on specific requirements, the formulation can be further optimised, and special filaments can be produced.
