Compounding FibreTuff
FibreTuff for 3D printing, molding and extrusion
The FibreTuff has similar properties to Nylon 11 or 12 industrial and medical grades.
FibreTuff Mechanical Data
FibreTuff likes heat
The FibreTuff composition has similar mechanical data compared to Nylon 12. FibreTuff can be annealed at 225 F / 107C up to 2 hrs to increase strength and flexibility of the filament or print strength by 10%.
