SLS 3D printing with PA12+flame retardant (PA2241FR)

The material PA2241FR is a white PA12 which has been mixed with a halogen-containing flame retardant. If a component made from this material comes into contact with fire, a protective layer forms on the surface of the component, which insulates the underlying material and protects it from burning. Laser-sintered components made from this flame-retardant PA12 are therefore ideally suited for use in the aviation and electronics industries. As PA2241FR components comply with FAR 25.853 regulations and the Airbus guideline for additively manufactured plastic parts, they are used particularly frequently in the aviation industry.
