Fiberon™ PET-GF15 Filament

Fiberon™ PET-GF15 is a high-performance engineering filament based on PET (polyethylene terephthalate), reinforced with 15% glass fiber. It combines excellent strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability with reliable printability, making it ideal for functional and industrial applications.

Key features

• 15% glass fiber reinforcement: Improves stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability.
• Excellent dimensional accuracy: Low shrinkage and minimal warping.
• Good heat resistance: Suitable for elevated temperature applications.
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to many common industrial chemicals.
• User-friendly: Easier to print than many engineering-grade materials.
• High surface quality: Consistent layer adhesion and clean finish.

Technical specifications

• Material: PET with 15% glass fiber
• Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Net weight: 1 kg (or depending on variant)
• Printing temperature: 250–280 °C
• Bed temperature: 70–90 °C
• Environment: Open printers possible, enclosure recommended
• Mechanical properties: High stiffness and improved wear resistance

Printing recommendations

• Nozzle: Use a hardened nozzle due to abrasive glass fibers.
• Hotend: All-metal hotend recommended.
• Cooling: Moderate part cooling.
• Adhesion: Use PEI or adhesive for best bed adhesion.
• Storage: Keep dry; dry filament at 55–65 °C if needed.

Applications

Fiberon™ PET-GF15 is ideal for functional parts, mechanical components, housings, fixtures, and industrial applications where stiffness and dimensional accuracy are required. It offers a strong balance between performance and ease of use.

Note: Glass fibers are abrasive and can wear standard nozzles. A hardened nozzle is recommended.
