CARBONX HTN+CF

CarbonX™ HTN+CF (High Temp CF Nylon) Printing Filament

CarbonX™ High Temp CF Nylon is an advanced, true semi-aromatic polyphthalamide (PPA) reinforced with high-modulus carbon fiber. This polymer is widely used for metal replacement applications that must resist high mechanical loads at elevated temperatures and aggressive chemical environments. HTN has traditionally been a go-to material for demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, electrical, electronics, and industrial markets.

Benefits of HTN+CF High Temp CF Nylon Include:

• High tensile strength (87 MPa) and a heat deflection temperature of 240°C
• Excellent strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range
• Very low moisture absorption yielding improved retention of mechanical properties even when exposed to humid environments
• Outstanding chemical resistance to alcohols, acids, automotive and jet fuels, oils, lubricants, brake and transmission fluids, antifreeze, and Zn/Ca Chlorides
• Reinforced with high-modulus carbon fiber for excellent stiffness and thermal stability

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Standard brass nozzles can be chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter widens inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues. Because of this, it’s strongly recommended this material be printed through a hard nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer’s instructions.
