What temperature is best for drying Nylon?

April 9, 2025April 9, 2025

The best temperature for drying Nylon filament is 70°C to 75°C (158°F to 167°F). This temperature range is ideal for effectively removing moisture from Nylon without causing damage or deformation to the filament.

70°C (158°F) is the standard temperature for drying Nylon, but 75°C (167°F) can also be used for a more thorough drying process, especially if the filament has absorbed a significant amount of moisture.
Be sure to avoid exceeding 75°C, as higher temperatures can cause the filament to soften or warp.

Drying Nylon at this optimal range typically takes about 4 to 6 hours, but it may vary depending on the moisture content and the amount of filament being dried. Always check the filament periodically to ensure it is being dried evenly and efficiently.
