Jabil PA 4500 Filament Technical Data Sheet _______________________________________________________________________________ Product Description PA 4500 Filament is a low warp, neat nylon copolymer that has good lay flat/low warp properties, excellent appearance, strength in both XY and XZ directions, toughness, and can be printed at lower temps (240-260° C). Applications for this material include component production of less than 20,000 per year with complex geometries that require good wear properties and appearance are required but also strength and durability, such as slides, screen printing pallets, automation sleds, adaptors for fluid and materials handling, end of arm tooling (EOAT), masking covers, die cast models and patterns, clips, covers, housings, and gears. Advantages Along with easier printability, PA 4500 filament also delivers better appearance, over 100% elongation at break and better overall strength compared to other commercial PA’s and products like PETg and PLA. Storage and Use PA 4500 is highly hygroscopic, meaning it will quickly absorb and retain moisture from the atmosphere, affecting visual quality and mechanical properties. For best results, print and store filament in a dry environment. If necessary, dry filament in an oven at up to 75 °C (165 °F) for 6 - 12 hours.
