Nanovia PP CF polypropylene aux fibres de carbone

Nanovia PP CF : Carbon fiber reinforced

Starting at : 71,25 € ex. VAT/ kg

Thanks to polypropylene’s close to zero water absorption rate, high chemical resistance, low density, and a native UV, Nanovia PP CF is ideal for light components exposed to the elements which require a high dimensional stability such as nautical equipment and mechanical automotive parts.

Polypropylene is a semi-rigid material, with high wear and shock resistance, notably used for hinges and components that endure regular flexing. The added carbon fibers makes Nanovia PP more rigid and UV resistant. Humidity proof, it’s perfectly suited for both outdoor and high stress industral applications.

Much like polyamide (nylon), polypropylene gradually becomes more flexible with higher temperatures. The carbon fiber composition of Nanovia PP CF limit this phenomenon allowing it to be used for parts that require dimensional control in hot and humid environments.

Advantages

Very low water absorption rate
Good chemical resistance
UV resistant
Rigid

Storage

Store in airtight container with desiccant, out of direct sunlight.
Dehydrate for 4h at 60°C prior to printing after prolonged exposure to humidity.

Printing

A reinforced nozzle, suitable for abrasive materials is recommended.
In the case of bed adhesion issues, it’s recommended to either use a “raft” or a polypropylene bed. The latter can be achieved by applying polypropylene film/tape to the printer bed. In order for the film/tape to not unstick, a lower bed temperature is recommended.
