Spectrum PA6-CS20 FR V0
Flame Retardant Silicate Nylon
Certified UL 94 V-0 Safety | 20% Mineral Reinforcement | 0.75kg Spool
Spectrum PA6-CS20 FR V0 is a high-performance industrial filament meticulously developed for applications where fire safety is the primary requirement. By combining a Polyamide 6 matrix with 20% silicate fibers and halogen-free flame retardants, Spectrum has engineered a material that offers extreme mechanical stiffness alongside elite thermal protection.
This filament is certified to the UL 94 V-0 flammability standard, meaning that combustion stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen, without any flaming drips. For engineers in the electrical, automotive, and rail sectors, PA6-CS20 FR V0 provides the peace of mind necessary to substitute traditional metal parts with lightweight, 3D-printed safety components.
Silicate fibers do more than just add strength. Unlike traditional glass fibers, they offer superior dimensional stability and a lower coefficient of thermal expansion. This ensures that electrical connectors and housings maintain their precise fit even when exposed to fluctuating operational temperatures.
