Material Data Sheet

Alumide

Product Description

Alumide is a metallic gray, aluminium-filled polyamide 12 powder. Parts made from Alumide are characterized by high stiffness, metallic appearance and good post-processing possibilities. The surfaces of alumide components can be very easily refined by grinding, polishing or coating. Machining is simplified by the chip-breaking effect of the aluminium filling. 

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS

  • Thermal conductivity (limited)
  • High stiffness
  • Easy postprocessing

 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Design elements
  • Production equipment like jigs and fixtures
  • Injection mold for small batch production
