Polymaker is excited to introduce Fiberon™ PA612-ESD, our latest innovation in special purpose 3D printing filaments designed to meet the demanding needs of sensitive electronic environments.

This new nylon-based filament offers a unique combination of excellent electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety, mechanical strength, and high heat resistance, overcoming the typical compromises users faced with previous ESD-safe materials.

Enhanced with carbon nanotubes (CNT) and 10% carbon fiber (CF), it provides superior heat resistance and optimized static dissipation, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of industrial and electronic environments.

PA612-ESD has a heat resistance of up to 157°C allowing for you to use it for high heat environments while maintaining ESD safe properties. Along with its high heat resistance, Fiberon™ PA612-ESD offers enhanced wear resistance and rigidity, meaning it is capable of meeting engineering needs for your print to be strong as well.

Before the arrival of Fiberon™ PA612-ESD, customers had to accept trade-offs between mechanical performance and ESD safety. Now, this advanced filament offers a comprehensive solution that does not force such compromises, enabling engineers and manufacturers to produce robust, heat-resistant, and static-safe parts with confidence.

PETG-ESD has a very limited heat resistance of only 76°C, meaning Fiberon™ PA612-ESD can withstand more than double the heat of PETG-ESD. Along with the much higher heat resistance, PA612-ESD is more wear resistant, much more rigid, and even has a higher tensile strength.

This means that Fiberon™ PA612-ESD can meet engineering requirements that other ESD materials like PETG-ESD cannot meet.

Fiberon™ PA612-ESD will print with very similar settings to other nylon materials offered by Polymaker:

Nozzle: 280-300°C

Build Plate: 40-50°C

Chamber Temp: Room temperature

Printing Speeds: Up to 300mm/s

Since PA612-ESD is a nylon material, it means that it is very susceptible to moisture. This means it is highly recommended that you use this product in conjunction with a filament dryer.

Other requirements are a hotend that can reach 280-300°C along with a hardened steel nozzle. No enclosure required!

After printing it is highly recommended to anneal the print at 100°C for 16 hours, and then allow the part to moisture condition to get the full strength characteristics and heat resistance.

If you require your part to be ESD safe, particularly if you require high heat resistance and/or wear resistance, then PA612-ESD would work great for you. Some potential applications include:

· Any ESD applications

· PCB manufacturing

· PCB storage

· High friction clean room environments

· Structural components

· Industrial fixtures

· High-wear applications

· Anything requiring mechanical durability and static dissipation
