# How do I dry TPU and nylon?

Dry TPU at 50–80 °C (122–176 °F) for 4–12 hours; median 70 °C (158 °F) across 19 official tables. PA/nylon drying temperature is 70–140 °C (158–284 °F) for 4–12 h, from 33 official rows.

1. The first sentence is the span and the median of the official tables it names. It is not a new setpoint.
2. Stay inside that published temperature span and that published time span. The median is the middle of those tables.
3. Use the product row in the table before you start. One brand can sit at either end of the range.

TPU | 19 | 70 °C (158 °F) | 50–80 °C (122–176 °F)
PA/nylon | 33 | 90 °C (194 °F) | 70–140 °C (158–284 °F)
