Product detailed description

PC/PTFE fiber spectrum

High temperature and abrasion resistance

Spectrum PC/PTFE is an advanced polycarbonate (PC) based composite fibre with the addition of PTFE commonly known as Teflon. The high demand and limited availability of additive manufacturing materials with very good mechanical properties, with particular emphasis on high abrasion resistance, has led to an effort to combine the excellent properties of PC and PTFE. Polycarbonate provides high mechanical resistance and PTFE adds additional properties by reducing wear and friction.

The applied treatments provide improved thermal stability of the printed parts, increased electrical insulation and higher chemical and water resistance. Spectrum PC/PTFE fiber is a material for a wide range of industrial applications due to its properties. Materials printed with PC/PTFE filament can be machined for a perfectly smooth surface. The use of this type of material enables the production of parts with relatively complex geometry while maintaining relatively high dimensional accuracy.

In order to achieve the very attractive technical properties of Spectrum PC/PTFE, it is necessary to observe the basic rules of storage of these materials (in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%). To achieve the best possible printed object parameters, it is recommended to dry the material before processing.

Tip: It is recommended to print using a heated chamber.
