A very durable nylon powder, PA 4000 has well-balanced material characteristics that are ideal for a wide variety of applications. The detail resolution, excellence surface finish, and 34% elongation at break point ensures this bright white material meets the needs of your product requirements. The chemical resistance and various finishing possibilities make PA 4000 ideal for open-sourced laser sintering 3D printers.

Similar to a PA 12, PA 4000 should be selected for applications that require functional testing, low to midvolume production runs or prototyping. Even though this material should be processed in an inert environment, PA 4000 does not need to be dried which adds to the convenience of use. Some common applications include (but are not limited to): functional prototypes, complex geometries, low temperature duct work, caster housings (in additional to other housings and enclosures), and parts with snap-fit features.

Advantages
Excellent elongation and impact strength are key benefits of PA 4000. Powder flowability and wet out is exceptional, producing dense parts with an excellent surface finish. PA 4000 has a potential for high recyclability and displays color stability.
