Description
We manufacture
this ultra-performance 30% glass fiber reinforced 3D printing filament using
real ULTEM PEI (polyether imide) resin from Sabic. Filaments made from ULTEM
resin offer the ability to create parts with excellent properties at elevated
temperatures due to a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C. PEI is an amorphous, high-performance polymer which combines excellent thermal properties, exceptional dimensional stability, inherent flame retardancy, and good chemical resistance. |
Benefits of FIBREX PEI+GF30
- High thermal properties, with a Tg of 217C and HDT of 212C
- Inherently flame-resistant
- Long-term hydrolytic stability, making it easy to steam and autoclave
- 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 stiffness, 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

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.
