PPS-CF features a heat deflection temperature of up to 264°C at 0.45 MPa and can maintain continuous operation at temperatures above 200°C. Its superior heat resistance ensures excellent creep resistance, making PPS-CF an ideal choice for challenging industrial environments and high-temperature applications.
PPS-CF is rated UL-94 V-0 for flame retardancy, ensuring exceptional safety and reliability in key applications like electronics and automotive parts. Its outstanding durability provides lasting performance and confidence, even in the most challenging conditions.
PPS-CF integrates the rigidity of PPS polymers with the reinforcing power of carbon fibers, delivering superior stiffness, flexural strength, and tensile strength. Its outstanding dimensional stability and resistance to warping ensure that large-scale prints retain precision and remain distortion-free throughout production, making it perfect for high-precision applications.

PPS-CF exhibits excellent solvent and chemical resistance. At temperatures below 200°C, it is virtually insoluble in any solvent and demonstrates outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, and salts under normal conditions. This makes PPS-CF an ideal choice for demanding environments where high chemical stability is essential.
PPS-CF has an extremely low moisture absorption rate of just 0.05%, ensuring that its mechanical and thermal properties remain stable even in humid conditions. This makes it an optimal choice for applications that demand high moisture resistance.

1. Using higher values within these ranges can enhance the mechanical properties of the printed parts, especially in the Z-direction.
2. Higher temperatures within the drying range yield better results, but do not exceed 160°C to avoid damaging the spool.
3. To prevent the filament from absorbing moisture, use an airtight storage container with desiccant during printing.
