Description
CarbonX™ Carbon Fiber PEKK-A (PolyEtherKetoneKetone) 3D filament is made using PEKK (60/40 copolymer) and 15% high modulus chopped carbon fiber. A leading material in the PAEK family, PEKK has exceptionally good mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties while offering ease of printing. |
Benefits of CARBONX PEKK-A+CF15
- Easier to print than CF PEEK
- Wide processing window from 360-390°C (ideal), up to 430°C if needed
- Tg of 160°C, HDT of 150°C, and a Tm of 305°C
- Inherently flame resistant base resin (UL94 V-0)
- Base resin with low smoke generation and outgassing
- Excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistances

Material DETAILS
Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament
What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
