DuraPro PA6 GF is a glass fiber-reinforced polyamide built for demanding industrial applications. Unlike most reinforced materials, it retains genuinely high impact resistance, including no-break performance in unnotched testing, while offering enhanced heat resistance and very good chemical resistance. Reduced warping keeps parts dimensionally reliable during printing. A hardened nozzle is required, due to the abrasive nature of the glass fiber content.
Holds up against a broad range of chemicals and solvents, suited to parts that need to withstand real-world exposure.
Genuine toughness for parts that need to withstand real mechanical stress, without sacrificing reliability.
A heat deflection temperature of 170°C (at 0.45 MPa), holds its shape reliably under serious thermal stress.
Reliable electrical insulation properties make it well suited to housings, enclosures, and components near live electronics.
From standard FDM printers to AMS and multi-material setups, Extrudr filament is built to work reliably with the printer you already own.
From the Austrian Alps, every Extrudr spool is manufactured with care, precision and strict EU standards.
DuraPro PA6 GF is compatible with all standard FDM printers on the market. Note: an enclosed print space is required, and a heated bed capable of reaching 80–100°C is recommended.
Yes. As with all glass-fiber-reinforced materials, the abrasive content will gradually wear down a standard brass nozzle. We recommend a hardened nozzle (e.g., hardened steel or ruby) with a diameter of at least 0.6mm to prevent clogging and ensure smooth extrusion.
Yes. DuraPro PA6 GF is fully compatible with AMS (Automatic Material System) solutions, including the Bambu Lab AMS.
Yes. DuraPro PA6 GF is a hygroscopic material and should be dried before printing to achieve optimal print quality. We recommend drying for 8–12 hours at 65°C.
DuraPro PA6 GF and DuraPro PA6 CF offer similar performance benefits over standard PA6, enhanced heat resistance, impact resistance, and reduced warping. The main difference is colour: glass fiber reinforcement is available in a wider range of colours, while carbon fiber reinforcement is typically limited to black. If colour options matter for your application, DuraPro PA6 GF is the more flexible choice.
Yes. DuraPro PA6 GF offers excellent suitability for outdoor use.
Yes. DuraPro PA6 GF offers very good resistance to a broad range of chemicals, suited to demanding industrial applications.
No. Glass fiber reinforced filaments, including DuraPro PA6 GF, are not certified for food contact.
Compliance applies to the raw material, not the finished printed part. Any part intended for a regulated application must undergo separate certification by an accredited third-party laboratory. Requirements vary depending on intended use and applicable standards.
Store DuraPro PA6 GF in a dry room at room temperature (18–27°C / 65–80°F). Stored neatly, it is protected from dust and sunlight.
When stored correctly, DuraPro PA6 GF has a shelf life of 2 years.
Recommended settings for printers with a 0.4 mm nozzle. Max. 50% layer height. Optimal settings may vary between printers and are also dependent on environmental factors.
Our material profiles make printing easier and more reliable. The profiles are perfectly optimised for Extrudr filaments and deliver perfect results straight away. Simply select your printer and material, import the profile into your slicer, and you’re ready to go.
