3DXTech 3DXTech CarbonX Black PEI+CF [ULTEM 1010] Filament - (0.5kg) 2.85mm

3DXTECH CARBONX PEI+CF[ULTEM 1010] FILAMENT

CarbonX Carbon Fiber Reinforced PEI (Polyether Imide) using a custom-formulated compound made from ULTEM™ 1010 PEI resin and high-modulus carbon fiber. PEI is an amorphous, high-performance polymer that offers excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties.

3DXTech PEI-based filaments offer the ability to create parts with excellent properties even at elevated temperatures, thanks to a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C. The addition of high modulus carbon fiber reinforcement greatly increases the stiffness and modulus of the PEI material as well as improving the dimensional stability during and after 3D printing.

BENEFITS OF CARBONX PEI+CF[ULTEM 1010]

• High thermal properties, with a Tg of 217°C
• Inherently flame-resistant with low smoke evolution and low smoke toxicity
• Long-term hydrolytic stability
• Excellent dimensional stability, low heat creep sensitivity, and a very low, uniform coefficient of thermal expansion create highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions
• Exceptional strength and modulus, even at elevated temperatures
• Good resistance to a broad range of chemicals, include automotive fluids, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
• Stable dielectric constant and dissipation factor over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR PEI+CF

Aerospace:

The excellent balance of flame retardancy, low smoke emission, and low smoke toxicity of ULTEM PEI+CF makes it an excellent candidate for aerospace and aircraft applications. ULTEM offers low toxicity, smoke, and flame evolution. Ultem resins are found in applications such as personal service units, oxygen panels and components, ventilation system components, connectors, cable ducts, latches, hinges, food tray containers, door handles, and interior cladding parts.

Automotive & Transportation:

PEI+CF resins provide automotive manufacturers with a high performance, chemically resistant, thermally-stable, cost-effective alternative to metal that is strong enough to replace steel in some applications yet light enough to replace aluminum in others. For applications like transmission components, throttle bodies, ignition components, sensors, and thermostat housings.

Electronics:

PEI+CF may be an excellent material choice for today’s demanding electrical applications, including connectors, MCB components like housings, shafts and levers, hard disk drive internals, FOUPs, BiTS, PCBs, MCCB internals, Plenum devices, LCD projector internals, fuel cell components, and many other applications.
