General information
Components
High temperature Polyamide based filament filled with 15% carbon fibers for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
Ultrafuse® PAHT CF15 is a high-performance 3D printing filament that opens new application fields in FFF
printing. In parallel to its advanced mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance, it hasvery good processability. It works in any FFF printer with a hardened nozzle. In addition to that, it is compatible
with water-soluble support material and HiPS, which allow printing complex geometries that work in challengingenvironments. Ultrafuse® PAHT CF15 offers high temperature resistance, low moisture absorption and is also
suitable for ESD SAFE (surface resistivity 105-1011 Ω) applications.

Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse® PAHT 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 further
and more detailed information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.

Further Recommendations
Drying recommendations toensure printability and best
mechanical properties

80 °C in a hot air dryer or vacuum oven for at least 4 to 16 hours.
Please note: To ensure constant material properties the material should
always be kept dry.
