Filament Spectrum PC/PTFE 1,75 mm NATUREL 0,75 kg

High temperature and abrasion resistance

Spectrum PC/PTFE is an advanced composite filament based on polycarbonate (PC) with added PTFE, commonly known as Teflon. The high demand and limited availability of additive manufacturing materials with excellent mechanical properties, with a focus on high abrasion resistance, have led to efforts to combine the excellent properties of PC and PTFE. Polycarbonate offers high mechanical strength, and PTFE complements other properties by reducing wear and friction.

The modifications applied ensure better thermal stability of printed parts, increased electrical insulation, and higher chemical and water resistance. Thanks to its properties, Spectrum PC/PTFE filament is a material suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Parts printed with PC/PTFE filament can be mechanically processed to achieve a perfectly smooth surface. The use of this type of material allows for the creation of parts with relatively complex geometries while maintaining relatively high dimensional accuracy.

To achieve the excellent technical properties of Spectrum PC/PTFE, basic storage rules for such materials must be followed (in a dry, dark place with humidity below 15%). For the best possible parameters of the printed object, it is recommended to dry the material before processing.

Tip: Printing with a heated chamber is recommended.
