Kimya PETG Carbon Black 2.85 mm 500 g

Kimya PETG Carbon Filament is a high-performance, fiber-reinforced 3D printing material. PETG is a polyethylene terephthalate modified with glycol. The plastic is a thermoplastic material that belongs to the polyester family. PET is one of the most common materials in everyday life, as it is used, for example, in plastic bottles. The glycol-modified variant is tougher and does not splinter as easily as pure PET. The PETG Carbon listed here from the French manufacturer Kimya is additionally reinforced with carbon fibers. This gives the filament exceptional rigidity. Printed parts made from this material are ideal, for example, for printing quadcopters or drone components. PETG Carbon is also used in model making and in industrial applications, such as mounts and production aids. Since this material is reinforced with carbon fibers, it is an abrasive filament. This means that a standard brass print nozzle will wear out quickly and may break. We therefore recommend using a hardened print nozzle, for example made of tool steel or with a diamond tip. Additionally, the material feed (feeder) should ideally be equipped for abrasive filaments. Furthermore, we recommend storing this material in a dry place, protected from moisture. PETG Carbon is UV-sensitive in its raw form and also slightly hygroscopic.
