Choosing PA 1102 black
The black PA11 alternative when a dark mass-pigmented finished appearance and PA11 ductility are both needed.
- Consider it for
- Dark functional covers · Ductile clips and buckles · Impact-resistant consumer components
- Tradeoffs
- The black colour is inherent to the powder, so it is not a route to arbitrary dye colours. Its use case remains ductile PA11, not high-stiffness reinforcement.
- Design and validation
- The published Z elongation is lower than X/Y; orient a repeatedly flexed or impact-critical feature deliberately and confirm it in the target build process.
- Finishing
- Black is as printed. A blast or smoothing treatment can change gloss and texture, but should be evaluated for dimensional and cosmetic acceptance.
- Before choosing
- Is a mass-black part required, or is dyeable natural PA11 sufficient? Do you need the much higher stiffness of carbon-filled PA11?

What should I validate before using EOS PA 1102 black?
The published Z elongation is lower than X/Y; orient a repeatedly flexed or impact-critical feature deliberately and confirm it in the target build process. Is a mass-black part required, or is dyeable natural PA11 sufficient? Do you need the much higher stiffness of carbon-filled PA11?
How can EOS PA 1102 black be finished?
Black is as printed. A blast or smoothing treatment can change gloss and texture, but should be evaluated for dimensional and cosmetic acceptance.
