Ultrafuse PAHT CF15
Date / Revised: 08.07.2020

Version No.: 3.4

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

Product Description
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 has very good
processability. It works in any FFF printer with a hardened nozzle. In addition to that, it is compatible with watersoluble support material and HiPS, which allow printing complex geometries that work in challenging
environments. PAHT CF15 has high heat resistance up to 130 °C and low moisture absorption.

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 furtherand more detailed information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.
