PA 1101 is a whitish polyamide 11 powder, which is optimised for the use as a laser sintering material. PA 1101 is made out of renewable raw materials (castor oil). The material is characterised by elasticity and high impact resistance.

Properties

• high elongation at break

• elasticity

• high impact resistance

• excellent resistance to chemicals, especially hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, mineral bases and salts, alcohols, fuels, detergents, oils and fats

Acceptance criteria

• cytotoxicity according to DIN EN ISO 10993-5

Typical applications

• mechanically loaded functional prototypes and series parts with long-term moving elements (e.g. hinges)

• in the automotive industry, it is mainly used for interior components for crash relevant parts (PA 1101 components do not splinter)

• especially suited for small to medium sized parts, thin walls and lattice structures
