purefil HDPE-GF20 Filament – High-Density Polyethylene with Glass Fiber Reinforcement

The purefil HDPE-GF20 Filament is a high-performance 3D printing material, combining high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with 20% glass fiber reinforcement for enhanced strength, durability, and chemical resistance. This filament is particularly well-suited for industrial and technical applications, offering excellent resistance to acids, bases, oils, and hydrocarbons.

Key Features

• Exceptional Chemical Resistance – Highly resistant to acids, bases, oils, and fuels.
• High Impact Strength & Flexibility – Offers superior toughness with excellent elongation properties.
• Low Friction Surface – Ensures smooth movement in applications requiring low sliding resistance.
• Minimal Water Absorption – Ideal for environments where moisture resistance is essential.
• Electrical Insulation Properties – Functions as an efficient insulator, though prone to static charge buildup.

Best Applications

purefil HDPE-GF20 Filament is an excellent choice for functional prototypes, industrial parts, and chemical-resistant components. It is particularly suitable for:

• Mechanical and engineering applications requiring chemical resistance.
• Wear-resistant components where low friction is necessary.
• Containers or enclosures that must withstand exposure to harsh substances.

Considerations for Printing

While HDPE-GF20 offers significant advantages, it requires specific printing conditions to ensure optimal results. UV sensitivity is a key consideration, as prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause brittleness. Additionally, adhesion to print beds can be challenging, and the material is not easily paintable or glueable.

Why Choose purefil HDPE-GF20 Filament?

For users seeking a durable, chemically resistant, and impact-resistant filament, purefil HDPE-GF20 is an outstanding option. Its unique combination of strength, flexibility, and low moisture absorption makes it ideal for professional and industrial 3D printing applications.
