4 ISO 179-1/1eU, unnotched, X-Y orientation, 23 °C.
A carbon fiber reinforced long chain nylon that adds stiffness and dimensional stability while keeping much of the toughness of the base polymer. It absorbs little water, so it stays stable in humid service, and offers good wear and fatigue resistance. It resists fuels, oils, greases, and many solvents.

| Young’s modulus (Z) | 1,801 MPaISO 527 |
| Elongation at break (X-Y) | 3.5%ISO 527 |
| Elongation at break (Z) | 3.29%ISO 527 |
| Bending modulus (X-Y) | 2,887 MPaISO 178 |
| Charpy impact, unnotched (X-Y) | 57.5 kJ/m² (dry)ISO 179 |
| Charpy impact, notched | 9.9 kJ/m² dry / 10.2 wetISO 179 |
Thermal
| HDT @ 0.45 MPa | 131 °CISO 75 |
Environment
| Moisture sensitivity | Low — wet retention is near-total (see the dry/wet pairs above), so printed fits and flatness hold in humid service. |
