Ultrafuse PET CF 15Date / Revised: 14.11.2019

Version No.: 3.3

General information
Components
Polyethylene Terephthalate based filament filled with 15% carbon fiber for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
PET CF15 is a Carbon Fiber reinforced PET which has precisely tuned material properties, for a wide range oftechnical applications. The filament is very strong and stiff and has high heat resistance. With its high dimensional
stability and low abrasiveness, the filament offers an easy to print experience which allows direct printing on
glass or a PEI sheet. It is compatible with HiPS for breakaway support and water soluble support and has an
excellent surface finish.

Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse PET CF15 filament should be stored at 15 - 25°C in its originally sealed package in a clean and dry
environment. If the recommended storage conditions are observed the products will have a minimum shelf lifeof 12 months.

Product safety
Recommended: Process materials in a well ventilated room, or use professional extraction systems. For furtherand more detailed information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.
