Siraya Tech Fibreheart PAHT TDS (PPA Based)
1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
-
Superior Material Properties: High-temperature PPA with 1.2 g/cm³ density, 70 MPa tensile, and 114 MPa flexural strength, outperforming standard nylons.
-
Super Abrasive Resistance: Low friction and self-lubricating, ideal for gears, bearings, and components under constant wear.
-
Superior Moisture Resistance: PAHT demonstrates significantly better moisture handling with a saturated moisture absorption rate of approximately one-fifth of PA6 and other Nylons.
-
Chemical and Heat Resistant: Withstands chemicals and high temperatures, ideal for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
- Annealable Filament for Enhanced Strength: Annealing enhances durability, reduces stress, and improves dimensional stability for precise, high-performance engineering applications.
-

4. Preparing for Printing
- Ensure proper bed adhesion using a PEI sheet or PVP glue coating to prevent warping.
- Use an enclosure to maintain consistent temperature and reduce potential warping, especially for larger prints.
- Implement proper cooling strategies, adjusting fan speed based on part geometry and size.
- For complex geometries, consider using soluble support materials compatible with high-temperature printing.
- Post-processing may include annealing to further enhance mechanical properties and heat resistance.
- Always handle the printed parts with care, as they may have sharp edges or be hot immediately after printing.
- Annealing is not recommended given it can warp the print.
