Working temperature: 235–260 °C
Heated bed: 80–110 °C
Available diameters: 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm
Diameter tolerance: +/- 0.10 mm
Weight: 600 g of filament (+ 230 g spool)
The length of the filament:
243 m (1.75 mm, 600 g)
94 m (2.85 mm, 600 g)

This filament is made of polyamide 12 reinforced with 15 % of milled carbon fibers. It is characterized by high strength, high thermal and chemical resistance, great processing stability, and rheological properties.

The material is suitable for the production of continually stressed parts, such as bearings, cogwheels, reinforcement parts, etc.
