High-performance polyamide reinforced with carbon fibre

An ultra-resistant filament designed for advanced industrial applications

Le PPA-CF (Carbon fibre-reinforced polyphthalamide) is a filament high performancecombining the strength and thermal resistance of PPA with the the rigidity and lightness of carbon fibre. This material is designed for demanding mechanical, industrial and automotive applicationsrequiring exceptional dimensional stability, resistance to high temperatures and chemicals.

Why choose PPA-CF

Excellent rigidity and strengthreinforced with carbon fibre.
High thermal resistanceIt can withstand temperatures in excess of 150°C.
Low coefficient of expansionhigh dimensional stability.
Good chemical resistance against industrial oils, fuels and solvents.
Ideal for advanced mechanical and industrial applications.

Applications of PPA-CF

Automotive and aeronautical components Structural parts, fixings, engine mounts.
High-performance industrial prototypes Tests on parts subjected to extreme mechanical loads.
Mechanical parts subject to high stress Gears, supports, articulated arms.
Demanding industrial environments Parts resistant to chemicals and high temperatures.

When not to choose PPA-CF

🚫 Printing requiring flexibility

  • Alternative : TPU 95A for flexible, impact-resistant parts.

🚫 High-humidity environments without prior drying

  • Alternative : PAHT-CFwhich is more stable to humidity.

🚫 Printing requiring ease of use

  • Alternative : PETG-CF, ASA-CF for improved printability.

🚫 Simple post-processing requirements

  • Alternative : ABS, ASA for easier sanding and painting.
