Tough industrial flame retardant polycarbonate based on a specialty Coversto Makrolon® material delivering UL94-V0 flame retardance.
- UL94-V0 Flame Retardant PolyCarbonate
- Toughness enhanced to offer fantastic toughness and impact strength.
- Excellent tensile strength and rigidity.
- High heat resistance up to 110℃ HDT.
- Improved printability compared to some other PC filaments.
- Consistent colour and tolerance (2.85mm diameter)
PolyMax™ PC-FR is a fire-retardant PC filament (UL94V-0/1.5 mm) displaying excellent strength, toughness and heat resistance whilst also achieving a V0 score in the UL94 flame retardancy test. PolyMax™ PC-FR can reduce the intensity of a fire or slow/stop the spread of fire due to its self-extinguishing characteristic, opening new applications in the automotive, railway and aerospace industries. Like PolyMax™ PC, PolyMax™ PC-FR is produced with Polymakers Nano-reinforcement technology.
Features
-
Flame Retardant - PolyMax™ PC-FR displays V0 performance in the UL94 flame retardancy test[1], benefiting applications where respective material approval is required. PolyMax™ PC-FR can reduce the intensity of a fire or slow/stop the spread of fire due to its self-extinguishing characteristics.
-
Fantastic Toughness - An excellent choice for engineering applications, Polymaker has introduced its nano reinforcement technology that is featured in all PolyMax™ materials. This boosts the fracture toughness of the FR material and produces a flame-retardant filament that can still perform in demanding applications.
-
Heat Resistant - PolyMax™ PC-FR offers better heat resistance than a wide variety of material types, featuring a heat deflection temperature up to 110 ºC (HDT 0.45MPa).
-
Improved Printability - PolyMax™ PC-FR has been engineered specifically with compatibility and usability in mind. PolyMax™ PC-FR not only offers excellent properties and print quality, but also improved printability when compared to other PC filaments. Enclosure and 90°C heated bed required; an actively heated chamber is also highly recommended.
-
Uncompromised Quality - Polymakers leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing ensure reliable printing and consistency across spools and batches.
