Compliance Evidence
⚠ Partially documented – no complete RoHS certificate available. Evidence via manufacturer documentation.
Evidence: Bambu Lab publishes RoHS information in the Material Safety Portal.
⚠ Partially documented – SVHC statement available, but no complete REACH conformity declaration on file.
Evidence: REACH data via the Bambu Material Safety Portal.
The evidence listed applies to the filament or raw material per manufacturer documentation. Regulatory clearance of the printed final product – particularly for food contact, medical devices, electrical applications or UL-relevant parts – is not automatically included and must be evaluated on a project-specific basis. Technical machine assignment is handled internally.

Material Profile
Bambu PA6-GF uses PA6 as the matrix polymer – compared to PA12, PA6 has higher strength and stiffness but also higher moisture absorption. Glass-fiber reinforcement significantly increases tensile strength, stiffness and heat deflection over unreinforced PA.
PA6-GF vs. PA-CF
| Property | PA6-GF | PA-CF (PA12) |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength | ~120 MPa | ~80–110 MPa |
| Heat deflection | ~182 °C | ~175–180 °C |
| Electrical conductivity | No | Slight (CF fiber) |
| Moisture absorption | Higher (PA6-based) | Lower (PA12-based) |
| Surface | Rough, light | Rough, dark |
PA6-GF stands out with high tensile strength and impact resistance for electrically insulating requirements – PA-CF remains the lighter, more moisture-stable choice for lightweight applications.
Manufacturing Note
PA6-GF absorbs moisture very quickly – active drying during printing is mandatory, otherwise layer adhesion and surface quality suffer. The abrasive glass fiber requires a steel nozzle.
