What your process engineer actually checks

Toughness you can design around

With 38 kJ/m² Charpy impact and 20% elongation at break, KSPA12BK is the black PA12 grade for snap-fits, clips, and functional parts that must flex and take impact without cracking — durable end-use hardware rather than brittle models.

About this product

Kings3D KSPA12BK is a black PA12 (nylon-12) laser-sintering powder for tough, impact-resistant end-use parts — a durable functional grade with near-100% powder reusability. It runs on Kings and other open PA12 SLS systems with fiber or CO₂ lasers, and we supply it from US stock with the starting parameters to run it.

Why engineers choose KSPA12BK

A tough black nylon-12 powder with production-ready mechanical numbers.

Tough and impact-resistant

38 kJ/m² Charpy impact, 7.5 kJ/m² notched, and 20% elongation at break — black PA12 that survives snap-fits, clips and drops instead of cracking.

Durable functional parts

46 MPa tensile, 50 MPa flexural, 1600 MPa tensile modulus — a chemical- and abrasion-resistant nylon for jigs, housings and end-use hardware, not display models.

Near-100% powder reuse

A narrow 50 µm particle distribution and stable melt behaviour let unsintered black powder recover cleanly build after build, keeping cost-per-part low.

Runs on open SLS systems

Melting at 187 °C, KSPA12BK works with fiber or CO₂ lasers — compatible with Kings SLS (P440) and other open PA12 SLS platforms, with parameters tuned per machine.

How we supply it

A production print center supplying proven powders — not a warehouse reselling boxes.

Step 01
Proven, then stocked

We run a production SLS print center in-house. We only stock powders we have printed and validated ourselves — so what ships is a known quantity, not a catalog listing.

Step 02
Stocked in California

KSPA12BK ships from our Los Angeles warehouse in 1–2 business days, sealed with a batch data sheet, plus starting sinter parameters for common PA12 SLS platforms.

Step 03
Custom formulation on request

Need a different colour, a glass- or carbon-filled grade, or a certification? Tell us the target and we will discuss a custom SLS powder option with our material partners.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What is KSPA12BK powder used for?
KSPA12BK is a black PA12 (nylon-12) laser-sintering powder built for tough, impact-resistant end-use parts. It suits functional production hardware — jigs, fixtures, housings, ducts, snap-fit assemblies and living-hinge parts — where a durable, chemical- and abrasion-resistant nylon is needed rather than a display prototype. With 46 MPa tensile strength, 38 kJ/m² Charpy impact and 20% elongation at break, parts flex and take knocks without cracking. The uniform black colour also gives a finished look straight off the machine. Tell us your application and our engineer will confirm KSPA12BK fits.
Which 3D printers is KSPA12BK compatible with?
KSPA12BK is an open PA12 powder compatible with the Kings SLS platform, such as the P440, and other open polymer SLS systems running fiber or CO₂ lasers. It is not locked to one machine — sinter, bed-temperature and refresh parameters are tuned per system. Tell us which SLS printer you run and our materials engineer will share starting parameters so you can begin producing KSPA12BK parts without a long calibration cycle.
How tough are parts printed in KSPA12BK?
After sintering, KSPA12BK reaches 46 MPa tensile strength, 1600 MPa tensile modulus, 50 MPa flexural strength, 1400 MPa flexural modulus and 20% elongation at break (ISO 527/178). Charpy impact strength is 38 kJ/m² and 7.5 kJ/m² notched (ISO 179). That combination makes it a tough, ductile black nylon-12 — it absorbs impact and flexes at snap-fits and hinges rather than shattering, which is why it is chosen for functional end-use parts and shop-floor tooling.
What colour is KSPA12BK and does it need dyeing?
KSPA12BK is a through-coloured black PA12 powder, so parts come off the machine already black — no dyeing step is required for a uniform dark finish. Because the colour runs through the full wall thickness, scratches and machined faces stay black rather than showing a pale core. If you need a natural PA12 base or a different colour instead, we also stock KSPA12, and can discuss custom colours with our material partners.
Can KSPA12BK powder be reused?
Yes — KSPA12BK is engineered for near-100% powder reusability. Its narrow 50 µm particle distribution and stable melt behaviour let unsintered powder be recovered, refreshed with a portion of virgin powder, and run again across multiple builds, keeping cost-per-part low. The exact refresh ratio depends on your machine, build density and quality target; the vendor does not publish a fixed figure, so we help you set a refresh rate validated on your own parts rather than guess one.
How should I store KSPA12BK powder?
Store KSPA12BK in its sealed pack in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Like all PA12 SLS powders, nylon-12 is hygroscopic, so keep unused powder sealed and let refreshed powder condition to machine temperature before a build to avoid moisture pickup that can affect surface quality. The vendor does not publish a fixed shelf life; kept sealed and dry, the powder holds its properties well. Ask our engineer for handling guidance for your climate and machine.
Can I order a sample before buying a full pack?
Yes. Rather than a free-powder giveaway, we offer a paid benchmark print in KSPA12BK: send your STL and we sinter a representative black part you can impact-test and fit-check in your own process. It is the fastest way to confirm KSPA12BK suits your application before committing to a full 10 kg pack. Use the Talk to materials engineer button to arrange it.
