BASF Ultrafuse PC GF30

Perfect solutions for applications in the transport industry

Ultrafuse PC GF30 filament is a 30% fiberglass-filled 3D printing material designed to be compatible with any standard Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printer, available in 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm diameters.

Ultrafuse PC GF30 is a unique polycarbonate (PC) compound with 30% glass fibers, specially designed for FFF printing. With its high thermal deflection temperature and good dimensional stability, it is the ideal material to use in an industrial environment where good temperature resistance and high strength are needed.

Its UL94 V0 rating makes PC GF30 the perfect solution for applications in the transportation industry that require flame retardancy. Its resistance to exposure to UV light and its low moisture absorption make Ultrafuse® PC GF30 particularly suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
