PC-GF10, Jet Black

PC-GF10 Filament by purefil – Engineered for Strength and Durability

The PC-GF10 Filament by purefil is a glass fiber-enhanced polycarbonate designed for high-performance and heat-resistant 3D printing applications. This innovative material offers exceptional mechanical properties, combining superior tensile strength, impact resistance, and outstanding heat stability, making it a top choice for industrial and engineering use.

Outstanding Benefits of PC-GF10 Filament

• Exceptional Strength & Toughness – Reinforced with 10% glass fiber for enhanced durability.
• Superior Heat Resistance – Performs reliably in extreme conditions from -150°C to +135°C.
• Reliable Electrical Insulation – Ideal for projects requiring excellent dielectric properties.
• Stable and Precise Printing – Low shrinkage ensures high dimensional accuracy.
• Chemical Resilience – Resistant to fuels, oils, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
• High-Temperature Sterilization – Can be sterilized at 120°C, making it suitable for specialized applications.

Essential Printing Guidelines

To achieve optimal results, follow these key recommendations:

• Ensure Proper Filament Storage – PC-GF10 absorbs moisture, so pre-drying is necessary to avoid print defects.
• Print at High Temperatures – Your 3D printer must support extrusion temperatures above 260°C.
• Avoid Certain Environmental Factors – This material is sensitive to stress cracking when exposed to hot water, strong acids, or bases like acetone.
• Flammability Awareness – While PC is flammable, it is self-extinguishing after ignition is removed.

Ideal Use Cases

• Functional Prototypes & Industrial Parts – Great for high-strength, load-bearing applications.
• Automotive & Aerospace Components – Withstands intense heat and mechanical demands.
• Electrical & Electronic Uses – Reliable insulation properties for specialized components.
• Medical & Technical Applications – Can be sterilized at 120°C, meeting hygiene and safety requirements.

What Makes purefil PC-GF10 Stand Out?

purefil filaments are proudly made in Switzerland, ensuring top-tier quality, consistency, and precision. PC-GF10 is an excellent choice for professionals seeking a reinforced polycarbonate filament that offers exceptional durability, heat resistance, and structural integrity.

For the best printing experience, use an enclosed 3D printer, a heated build chamber, and a hardened steel nozzle to counteract the abrasive nature of glass fiber reinforcement.
