Certified Engineering Thermoplastics and Material Library

Choose the material your part actually needs — by operating temperature, impact load, and chemical exposure. Each material opens its own technical data sheet.

MATERIAL LIBRARY06 / 06
01

Nylon 12

High dimensional stability with balanced chemical and mechanical performance.

The reference polymer for SLS production. At 50 MPa tensile strength and a 171°C heat deflection temperature under a 0.45 MPa load, it produces rigid, dimensionally stable parts. It resists oil, fuel and most industrial chemicals, making it the default choice for housings, brackets and assembly hardware.

Nylon 11

Ductile, fracture-resistant avionics and airframe structures.

A renewably sourced polyamide derived from castor oil. At 40% elongation at break and 71 J/m notched impact strength it is the most ductile of the unreinforced nylons, deforming by stretching rather than fracturing under sudden loads. Preferred for avionics housings, hinged parts and clip-together assemblies exposed to vibration and impact.

03

Nylon 12 GF

Glass-bead reinforced for extreme stiffness and heat resistance.

Glass reinforcement raises rigidity markedly: at 2800 MPa tensile modulus it sits well above unreinforced Nylon 12. Its real advantage shows under load, where a 113°C heat deflection temperature at 1.8 MPa far exceeds Nylon 12 at 87°C. Elongation sits at 4%, so it holds its shape rather than flexing.

Nylon 11 CF

Ultra-light with a high strength-to-weight ratio.

Carbon reinforcement makes this the stiffest, strongest powder in the library: 69 MPa tensile strength, 4200 MPa flexural modulus and 110 MPa flexural strength. At 74 J/m impact strength it is not brittle despite its rigidity, and at 188°C it offers the highest heat deflection temperature in the library. Built for structural applications where it can replace metal parts at lower weight.

TPU 90A

Shore 90A shock-absorbing, vibration-damping elastomer.

A functional elastomer at 90 Shore A that flexes repeatedly, with 110% elongation at break. Used for seals, bumpers, vibration-damping mounts and flexible hinges. At 39 kN/m tear strength it stands up to abrasion, rebounding where rigid parts would crack.

Technical Data Sheets

Measured values for every material, in one table.

Every property the manufacturer publishes for the five powders in the library, in one table, alongside the condition each was measured under. The values needed for design validation and specification work are on this page, and you can save it as a Modifuse-headed technical data sheet in PDF.
