HOW TO PRINT NYLFORCE CARBON FIBER and GLASS FIBER Tips and recommendations: MAINTENANCE Even though carbon fibers contained in our Nylforce reduce the water that can be absorbed by the filament, Nylforce Carbon Fiber is a nylon filament at its roots, so, before printing, be sure that your material is completely dry. When sold, we provide the spool inside a plastic sachet with a desiccant bag inside, so keeping it in there with the sachet well closed is enough. In case it got humidity, place it in an oven at 85 - 95°C for 6 to 8 hours, then put it in a dry place preferably in a small closed container with desiccant. HOT END, NOZZLES and COOLING FANS As the filament requires temperatures between 250°C and 265°C to extrude, please be sure that your hot end is set up for printing Nylon filaments. An all-metal hot end is the solution and most 3D printers can easily be upgraded with it in order to print at temperatures above 240°C (extrusion temperature). For the abrasion effect of the carbon fibers, stainless steel, hardened nozzles able to resist abrasive materials or the OLSSON RUBY nozzle, are highly recommended. Larger nozzles (0.6 and larger) can produce amazing strong parts as the trace width is directly proportional to interlayer adhesion. that you can purchase from us, in diameters 1.75 and 2.85 and from 0.4 to 0.8 mm. Cooling fans are not recommended. BED ADHESION The filament doesn’t stick well on PEI, BuildTak or similar surfaces, we print it successfully on a heated glass bed (60-70°C) with PVA based stick glue or a non-heated one with a sheet of Garolite LE. A great feature of our Nylforce Carbon Fiber is that the carbon fibers inside, beside reducing water absorption, keep the material dimensionally stable and reduce also the shrink rate (common in pure nylon filaments) while printing. EXTRUDER TEMPERATURE Every 3D printer has its own settings, but 250-265°C is the recommended guideline. Remember, Nylons can be extruded at lower degrees, but parts easily break when not printed hot enough, so be sure you can reach the right temperatures.

Choosing the Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web
Choosing The Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web ABSTRACT You have decided that your web needs a synthetic fiber. There are three important factors that have to be considered: generic type, diameter, and length. In order to make the right choice, it is important to know the chemical and physical characteristics of the numerous man-made fibers, and to understand what is meant by terms such as denier and denier per filament (dpf). PROPERTIES Denier Denier is a property that varies depending on the fiber type. It is defined as the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of fiber. The current standard of denier is 0.05 grams per 450 meters. Yarn is usually made up of numerous filaments. The denier of the yarn divided by its number of filaments is the denier per filament (dpf). Thus, denier per filament is a method of expressing the diameter of a fiber. Obviously, the smaller the denier per filament, the more filaments there are in the yarn. If a fairly closed, tight web is desired, then lower dpf fibers (1.5 or 3.0) are preferred. On the other hand, if high porosity is desired in the web, a larger dpf fiber - perhaps 6.0 or 12.0 - should be chosen. Here are the formulas for converting denier into microns, mils, or decitex: Diameter in microns = 11.89 x (denier / density in grams per milliliter)½ Diameter in mils = diameter in microns x .03937 Decitex = denier x 1.1 The following chart may be helpful. Our stock fibers are listed along with their density and the diameter in denier, micron, mils, and decitex for each: Diameter Generic Type

Yarn Numbering Systems
TECHNICAL BULLETIN 6399 Weston Parkway, Cary, North Carolina, 27513 • Telephone (919) 678-2220 TRI 1014 YARN NUMBERING SYSTEMS © 2003 Cotton Incorporated. All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION 1 DIRECT SYSTEMS 1 INDIRECT SYSTEMS 2 CONVERSION 4 PLIED YARNS 4 YARN DIAMETER 5 YARN NUMBERING SYSTEMS - TABLE 1 6 CONVERSION FACTORS - TABLE 2 7 YARN NUMBERING SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION Textiles are often sold on a weight basis and consequently it is natural to express the size of "thickness" of a yarn in terms of weight (or mass). There are two basic ways in which this may be done. These are: (a) by saying how much a given length of yarn weighs, or (b) by saying what length of yarn one would have in a given weight. Generally these are known as the direct and indirect systems of yarn numbering, respectively. In other words: Weight(or mass) Direct yarn number = Length Length Indirect yarn number = Weight(or mass) It will be noted that one is the inverse of the other. In the first case, the number gets larger as the yarn or strand gets coarser. In the second case, the number gets smaller as the yarn or strand gets coarser. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages and each has found areas in which, by custom, it is used. It so happens that because long, thin strands are usually involved, the length figures are usually large and the weight figures are small. Consequently, the yarn numbers would get impossibly large or impossibly small unless special units are used.

In the recent past, many researchers have highlighted the development of in-house filaments for fused filament fabrication (FFF), which can extend the corresponding field of application. Due to the limited mechanical properties and deficient functionality of printed polymer parts, there is a need to develop printable polymer composites that exhibit high performance. This study analyses the actual mechanical characteristics of parts fabricated with a low-cost printer from a carbon fibre-reinforced nylon filament. The results show that the obtained values differ considerably from the values presented in the datasheets of various filament suppliers. Moreover, the hardness and tensile strength are influenced by the building direction, the infill percentage, and the thermal stresses, whereas the resilience is affected only by the building direction. Furthermore, the relationship between the mechanical properties and the filling factor is not linear.

Immersion Dyeing Nylon and Acetate Rayon Using Prosperse Disperse Dyes Please Read Directions Carefully Before Starting
Immersion Dyeing Nylon and Acetate Rayon using PROsperse Disperse Dyes Please read directions carefully before starting. For medium to dark shades, it is recommended that nylon be dyed with acid dyes, because disperse dyes lack acceptable fastness. Acetate rayon can only be dyed with disperse dyes and has acceptable fastness in all depths of shade with the disperse dyes. All Dyeing should be done in a stainless steel or enamelware container only. Never use aluminum pots. Use Pyrex or stainless steel measuring utensils and a large wooden dowel for stirring in the boiling dye bath. Always do test samples before working on a large project. Please Note: These dyes have the potential to stain any sink that is not made of stainless steel or fireclay ceramic. For additional information, visit our web site at www.prochemicalanddye.com. Wear rubber gloves, apron, or old clothes. Utensils used for dyeing should never be used for food preparation. Supplies PROsperse Disperse Dye Citric Acid Crystals or White Distilled Vinegar Synthrapol PRO Dye Activator or Soda Ash Procedure 1. Scour the fabric by machine washing in HOT 140F (60C) water, or by hand in a pot on the stove with 2 tsp (2 gm) PRO Dye Activator or Soda Ash and 2 tsp (2.5 ml) Synthrapol per pound of fabric (454 gm, or 3 to 4 yards of muslin weight fabric). Rinse thoroughly. This step does not add the dye fixative to the fabric; it prepares your fabric for dyeing by removing any dirt, oil or sizing. 2. Dissolve the dye. Thoroughly dissolve the desired amount of dye powder, from the chart below, in 1 cup (250 ml) of boiling water.
