This whitish fine powder PA 2200 on the basis of polyamide 12 serves with its very well-balanced property profile a wide variety of applications. Laser-sintered parts made from PA 2200 possess excellent material properties:

• high strength and stiffness

• good chemical resistance

• excellent long-term constant behaviour

• high selectivity and detail resolution

• various finishing possibilities (e.g. metallisation, stove enamelling, vibratory grinding, tub colouring, bonding, powder coating, flocking)

• bio compatible according to EN ISO 10993-1 and USP/level VI/121 °C

• approved for food contact in compliance with the EU Plastics Directive 2002/72/EC (exception: high alcoholic foodstuff)

Typical applications of the material are fully functional plastic parts of highest quality. Due to the excellent mechanical properties the material is often used to substitute typical injection moulding plastics. The biocompatibility allows its use e.g. for prostheses, the high abrasion resistance allows e.g. the realisation of movable part connections.

100 µm layer thickness:
Performance is the parameter set of choice for parts with high demands on mechanical properties and fracture behaviour, especially when the part is going to be subjected to multiaxial loading in all three directions. Performance parts are characterized by the highest degree of isotropic strength and rigidity. The choice of 100 µm layer thickness results in fine resolution and also very high surface quality and detail resolution.
