Nylon 12-FR
Nylon 12-FR is a specially modified flame-retardant thermoplastic polyamide material with excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability and excellent flame retardant properties. The material is modified with halogen-free environmentally friendly flame retardants and complies with international fire safety standards such as UL 94 V-0 and EN 45545. It is particularly suitable for industries with strict fire protection requirements, including electrical, electronic, automotive and rail transit fields.

Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Adding custom color and a protective paint layer to Nylon 12-FR parts for functional prototype testing.
Note
Validate paint adhesion, masking boundaries, and coating coverage on Nylon 12-FR before production, especially around interfaces, edges, and fine details.
Vapor Smoothing
Surface result
Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines
Best for
Reducing visible layer lines on Nylon 12-FR parts used for functional prototype testing and appearance-critical prototypes.
Note
Confirm material compatibility, feature retention, and dimensional impact on Nylon 12-FR before vapor smoothing.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Creating a uniform matte texture on Nylon 12-FR parts used for functional prototype testing and display or functional prototypes.
Note
Confirm masking and feature retention on Nylon 12-FR; abrasive blasting can change texture and soften fine details.
