CarbonX™ Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (PP+CF) 3D Filament

CarbonX™ PP+CF is made using a specialty formulated polypropylene copolymer reinforced with high-modulus chopped carbon fiber. This filament is based on a patent-pending formulation that offers improved thermal properties and low shrinkage/warp compared to competitive PP-based compounds.

The reels contain 750g of filament, but based on the very low density of PP+CF, this is the same amount of filament that would typically be found on a 1kg reel of ABS. This allows you to print light-weight and exceptionally rigid parts for medical, drones, watercraft, automotive, or any application which would benefit from a light weight, stiff, chemically resistant material.

Benefits of PP+CF Include:

• Excellent resistance against a huge variety of chemicals
• Low density and weight
• Easier to print than most flexible materials and suitable for use with practically any 3D printer
• Does not absorb moisture, no drying needed!
• High strength and stiffness

Chemical Resistance of PP+CF

Since properties can change depending on print environment and 3D model geometry and/or surface area, it is always required to do your own testing, but Polypropylene is famous for its chemical resistances to a huge range of environments including:

• Acids: Acetic, Boric, Hydrochloric, Phosphoric, Stearic, Sulfuric, Uric
• Bases: Hydrocides of Ammonium, Barium, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium
• Solvents: Acetone, Ethanol, MEK, Phenol (10%), Water
