PET-CF
PET-CF combines a technical polyester with fibre reinforcement, opening up versatile possibilities for lightweight parts that hold their shape.
Base plastic: polyethylene terephthalate
Typical applications
PET-CF is suitable for rigid assembly holders, precision brackets, fixtures and functional components with specific shape requirements.
Why PET-CF?
Carbon fibres support high stiffness and a consistent technical surface finish with low sensitivity to moisture.
Performance profile
- Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
- up to 147.5 °C
- Tensile strength
- up to 65.9 MPa
- Elongation at break
- up to 2.4 %
- Tensile modulus
- up to 5,481 MPa
Ideas for your application
Test equipment manufacture, automation and device development, for example assembly brackets and individually shaped assembly aids.
Surface and appearance
A matt fibre surface with a fine texture.
Designing your part to fit
Plan load paths and print orientation together. Consistent wall thicknesses and supported overhangs make dimensional control easier after heat treatment.
Finishing and post-processing
Functional surfaces can be brought to size after the agreed heat treatment. Threaded inserts can be incorporated into the design.
