CARBONX PEEK+CF20

CarbonX™ PEEK+CF20 Carbon Fiber Reinforced Filament

CarbonX™ PEEK+CF20 Ultra Polymer is formulated using 20% chopped carbon fiber and Victrex PEEK resin. Our PEKK+CF20 offers exceptional thermal properties [up to 280°C] as well as outstanding mechanical and chemical resistance properties.

Properties Include:

• Superior mechanical properties, even at elevated temperatures

• Excellent chemical resistance

• Low Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CTE)

• Near Zero moisture absorption

• Low smoke and toxic gas emissions

PEEK+CF20 Thermal Properties:

• Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of 320°C

• Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of 143°C

• Melt Temperature (Tm) of 343°C

• PEEK has an incredible resistance to hydrolysis in boiling water and superheated steam (useful for sterilization and autoclaving) at temperatures in excess of 250°C

Typical PEEK+CF20 Applications Include:

Seals, Gears, Bushings, Bearings, Pump, and Compressor Components, Industries served: Auto, Aerospace, Defense, Semi-conductor, Oil & Gas

Notes

PEEK has a melt temperature (Tm) of 343°C, therefore, you will need an all-metal extruder capable of reaching (and holding) temps upwards of 400°C or more depending on your specific printer. Every printer, slicer, and printing environment is different and you will need to tinker to find a process which works for you. One of the more difficult aspects of printing with PEEK was getting it to stick to the build plate.Please note: PEEK+CF20 has a tendency to stick to metal (PEEK loves metal).  Make sure to purge out your extruder completely before it cools down or you run the risk permanent clogs. Seriously, we know this first hand
