Owens Corning FIXD-1000-002 Xstrand GF30 Filament PC (Polycarbonate) UV Resistant 2.85mm 500g Black...

The Owens Corning XSTRAND GF30-PC is a polycarbonate filament for FDM 3D printing, featuring a 30% glass fiber content. The manufacturer, Owens Corning, is a market leader in composite materials and is known for safety glass and insulation, among other products. The XSTRAND filaments bring the company's expertise into the world of 3D printing. Owens Corning XSTRAND PC GF30 offers several advantages. The material is verified for UL94-V0 flame resistance, meaning it is flame-retardant and can be used in appropriate environments. At the same time, it provides good heat resistance of up to 137°C. PC GF30 is only slightly hygroscopic; however, it should be stored in a dry, dark environment and removed from its packaging only when in use. As is typical with fiber-reinforced materials, the filament is stiffer and more durable than the individual polymers. XSTRAND GF30-PC is UV resistant and electrically insulating. XSTRAND GF30-PC has been specifically developed for functional prototypes and demanding applications such as mechanical engineering, electronics, and the automotive industry.
