Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR is a V-0 flame retardant blend of polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, two of the most widely used thermoplastics for engineering and electrical applications.

Characteristics :

• Meets flame retardant property according to UL 94 V-0 (for thicknesses 1.5 and 3.0 mm)
• Exceptional aesthetics
• Strong layer adhesion
• High printing speeds possible

Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR

Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR is a V-0 flame retardant blend of polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, two of the most widely used thermoplastics for engineering and electrical applications. The combination of these two materials results in a premium material with a blend of the excellent mechanical properties of PC and the relatively low printing temperature of ABS. Combined with a halogen-free flame retardant, parts printed with Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR exhibit high tensile and impact strength, higher thermal resistance than ABS, and can meet the requirements of the UL94 V-0 standard.

Tips and Tricks

• Nozzle temperature 230-280 °C
• Nozzle diameter ≥ 0.4mm
• Print speed; 25 mm/sec
• Bed temperature 80-100 °C
• Bed modification Glass plate + adhesive
• Print speed 30-90mm/s
• Build chamber temperature: closed, passively heated chamber

Drying recommendations

The filament is delivered in printable condition. For best printing results, dry the filament at 60°C for at least 4 hours (a vacuum oven is preferable to a hot air dryer) and keep the filament dry, for example, in a dry box.
