FGF CARBON-P
CARBON-P is our 15% carbon fiber reinforced PET-G based material. The result is a more than twice as stiff pellets as PET-G with increased impact and heat resistance. This, together with other features, such as a matt surface, no warp, dimensionally stable and extremely forgiving to print, makes CARBON-P suitable for a very wide variety of applications.

Additional information
Due to virtually no warping of CARBON-P, these pellets can also be printed without a heated bed. Please consider the use of a hardened steel nozzle and, if used, a gear pump, when printing with CARBON-P. The carbon fibers are abrasive and will result in fast wear of brass nozzles.
Storage
Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.
