INFINAM® PA12
Polyamide 12 - The multipurpose nylon material for infinite 3D printing applications
Polyamide 12 nylon materials - INFINAM® PA12 - convince with their high quality and processing capabilities, and the property profile of each powder is perfectly matched to common powder bed fusion 3D printing technology.
Customized PA12 powder nylons for 3D printing
For almost three decades of development and manufacturing 3D printable high-performance polymers, Evonik has established its INFINAM® PA12 nylon powders as THE multipurpose material for infinite 3D printing applications. Today, PA12 nylons manufactured by Evonik are the golden standard for powder bed fusion 3D printing of functional industrial parts.
This high-performance powders be used in selective laser sintering (SLS), high speed sintering (HSS) as wellas multi jet fusion (MJF) technologies and is expected to enable additive production of three-dimensional plastic parts for demanding 3D applications.
Evonik's ready-to-use PA12 nylon powders offer the greatest attitude of properties like temperature resistance, mechanical resistance, chemical resistance, impact resistance, excellent surface resolution and feature detail, food contact compliance, or high processability in order to suite them for common powder bed fusion technologies.
Key material properties of Pa12 nylons
- Excellent powder flow properties
- Easy-to-process
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High abrasion resistance
- High impact strength
- Reduced carbon footprint

Reduced carbon footprint
Our new sustainable INFINAM® PA12 powders are produced using renewable energies at the Marl Chemical Park. TÜV Rheinland has certified the associated life cycle assessments, attesting to an improvement in the company's own carbon footprint of nearly 50 percent. In the overall eco-balance, the comparison of the new sustainable material classes is positive even compared with the castor oil-based polyamides of Evonik's own Terra range.
Improved reusability - ZERO WASTE
Using innovative powder production technology, powder-based 3D printing processes like SLS, MJF and HSS can be used for part production without any waste of PA12 nylon powder. Just the material which is needed for parts in one production run has to be refreshed to set up the next run.
INFINAM® PA12 nylons - Food contact and regulations
Due to various product formulations it is not possible to make any general statements in regards to food contact regulations. For further information, please use our contact form.
World's largest production network for PA12 3D printing materials
Evonik manufactured its INFINAM® PA12 nylons at the world's largest fully integrated production for polyamide 12 in Chemical Park in Marl, Germany. They are prepared by a special physical process and thus distinguished by an almost perfectly spherical particle shape, which makes them especially suitable for powder bed fusion 3D printing.
With its polyamide 12 nylons, Evonik is a pioneer in the development and manufacturing of PA12 powder materials for PBF 3D printing technologies. Having delivered the group's first powders for additive manufacturing as early as 1996, Evonik has been setting new quality standards that are still valid today. With a variety of innovative high-performance materials ranging from reinforced to flame-retardant powders, we unbound sustainable 3D printing at scale.
