LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ AM Compound DC004XXAR1
- Chemical Family
- Polycarbonate (PC)
SABIC's Specialties Business LNP THERMOCOMP DC004XXAR1 compound is based on Polycarbonate (PC) resin containing 20% carbon fiber for Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) applications. Added features of this grade include: Higher Stiffness vs. glass fiber, Higher Strength, Higher Temperature Performance and Higher Throughput compared to ABS and PPE, as well as Excellent Ductility and Smooth Surface Finish.FeaturesCost EffectiveHigh DuctilityHigh Impact ResistanceHigh StiffnessHigh StrengthHigh Temperature StrengthSmooth Surface FinishVery Good Heat ResistanceApplications3D PrintingAdditive Manufacturing This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.
