Materials
3D printing in PPS-CF
Polyphenylene sulphide reinforced with carbon fibre: the most heat and chemical resistant of our materials, dimensionally stable and flame retardant.
Good for
- Parts working up to about 260 °C
- Parts in contact with acids, alkalis, solvents or fuels
- Components for pumps, filters and process equipment
Not good for
- Parts that take frequent knocks: it is stiff and brittle
- Parts where a simpler material is enough: it costs the most
- Electrical insulation: carbon fibre can conduct
At a glance
- Behaviour
- Very stiff, dimensionally stable, brittle under impact
- Density
- 1.26 g/cm³
- Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
- ~264 °C
An indicative value, from the material's datasheet. If your part works near this temperature, tell us.
