PC/PTFE filament Spectrum Filaments 1,75 mm / 0,75 kg

Polycarbonate with Teflon PC/PTFE filament 0.75 kg

Polycarbonate with Teflon PC/PTFE from Spectrum Filaments demonstrates excellent resistance to high temperatures and abrasion.

This is an advanced composite yarn based on polycarbonate (PC) with the addition of Teflon (PTFE). The resulting material satisfies the demand for 3D plastics with very good mechanical properties, with special emphasis on high abrasion resistance. Polycarbonate provides high mechanical stability, and Teflon complements other properties, reducing wear and friction.

The applied modifications provide improved thermal stability of printed parts, increased electrical insulation and increased chemical and water resistance. Due to its properties, polycarbonate with Teflon is a material for a wide range of industrial applications. Materials printed using PC/PTFE plastic can be treated to obtain a perfectly smooth surface. The use of this type of material makes it possible to produce parts with relatively complex geometry while maintaining relatively high dimensional accuracy.

To obtain the very attractive technical properties of Spectrum PC/PTFE, it is necessary to follow the basic rules of storage of such materials (in a dry and dark place with a humidity below 15 %). For best results on the printed object, it is recommended that you dry the material before use.

Tip: It is recommended to print on 3D printers equipped with a heated camera.

Packaging

A 0.75 kg filament is wound on a transparent spool, which contains information about the type of material, diameter, color and recommended printing temperature. Each coil is packed in a vacuum with a dehumidifier. All in the original Spectrum Filaments foil cardboard.

Coil dimensions

  • Outer diameter - 200 mm.
  • Width - 55 mm.
  • Inner diameter - 52 mm.
  • Weight of empty coil - ± 220 g.

Verify quality of 3D plastic thread 

Spectrum Filaments is the only company in Poland and one of the few in the world that has a tool for testing purchased filaments. VERIFY YOUR SPOOL is the most accurate quality control system on the market, ensuring that Spectrum Filaments products meet his stringent requirements.

Filament for 3D printers is produced by free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult extrusion processing technologies, due to the particularly significant influence of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization. During the manufacturing process, each 1mm of Spectrum Filaments is continuously measured in 2 axes with an accuracy of ±0.8 µm, resulting in a quality end product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of an online presentation, individually for each coil produced:

  • diameter travel along the entire length of the coil;
  • average diameter;
  • ovality;
  • standard deviation.
