3301pa Nylon May 2026

3301PA Nylon is a high-performance polyamide powder designed specifically for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing. Characterized by its white color

Product Overview: 3301PA Nylon

3301PA is a high-performance, internally lubricated nylon (polyamide) thermoplastic, typically based on Nylon 6/6. It is widely recognized in the plastics industry as a premium bearing and wear-resistant material. 3301pa nylon

• Gears & Pinions: Quiet operation and long wear life.
• Bearings & Bushings: Replaces bronze or steel in low-to-medium speed applications where lubrication is scarce.
• Wear Pads & Guides: Used in conveyor systems and heavy machinery.
• Rollers: For heavy-duty conveying.
• Pulleys & Sprockets: Lightweight alternatives to metal.

5. Limitations

• Moisture Absorption: Like all nylons, it absorbs moisture. This causes dimensional swelling (approx. 2–3% linear expansion) and a reduction in stiffness/hardness as it reaches equilibrium.
• UV Resistance: Not inherently UV stable unless specifically pigmented or stabilized (black grades usually offer better UV resistance than natural).
• Acid Sensitivity: Attacked by strong acids and oxidizing agents.
