Siraya Tech Fibreheart PAHT User Manual

1. Product Overview

Siraya Tech Fibreheart PAHT is an advanced FDM 3D printing filament based on polyphthalamide (PPA) - a high-temperature nylon engineered for demanding applications. This unfilled, high-performance material offers exceptional mechanical properties, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability with significantly lower moisture sensitivity compared to standard PA6 nylon.

4. Storage and Handling (Moisture Control)

  • Storage:
    •  Store in a dry box with relative humidity below 15%;
    • Promptly reseal packaging after use.
  • Handling: If moisture contamination occurs (indicated by oozing, bubbles, or rough surface finish):
    • Dry in oven at 80-100°C for 4-6 hours
    • Only perform drying when moisture symptoms are present
