CarbonX™ HTN+CF

CarbonX™ HTN+CF (High Temp CF Nylon) Printing Filament

CarbonX™ HTN+CF is made using a semi-aromatic High Temperature Nylon [HTN] and a specialty carbon fiber ideally suited to high-temp polyamides. HTN+CF is a go-to for demanding applications that require excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance – along with ease of printing.

CarbonX™ High Temp CF Nylon is an advanced, semi-aromatic polyphthalamide (PPA) reinforced with high-modulus carbon fiber. This polymer is widely used for metal replacement applications that must resist high mechanical loads at elevated temperatures and aggressive chemical environments. HTN has traditionally been a go-to material for demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, electrical, electronics, and industrial markets.

Benefits of HTN+CF High Temp CF Nylon Include:

• High thermal properties, with a Tg of 125°C, HDT of 240°C, and Tm of 265°C
• Excellent strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range, up to 240°C, higher than ULTEM™ PEI
• Very low moisture absorption yielding improved retention of mechanical properties even when exposed to humid environments
• Outstanding chemical resistance to alcohols, acids, automotive and jet fuels, oils, lubricants, brake and transmission fluids, antifreeze, and Zn/Ca Chlorides

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
