Fiberon PPS-GF20 1.75mm 500g Filament

High quality and high performance Fiberon PPS-GF20by Polymaker.

• High performance PPS-GF with 20% glassfiber reinforcement.
• Electrical insulation perfect for electronic housings and ADAS sensor enclosures.
• Flame retardant (UL94 V0) and exceptional chemical resistance
• Extreme heat resistance up to 236C HDT after annealing.
• High bending modulus and tensile strength.
• Low moisture sensitivity for humidity or wet applications.
• Reliable and consistent tolerance (1.75mm diameter+/- 0.03mm)

Glass-fiber filaments are abrasive. Bending diameter of filament should never be less than 60mm.We do not recommend printing from the Bambulab AMS and Creality CFS system as the filament itself won’t like to bend.

Fiberon PPS-GF20 is a glassfiber reinforced PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide) filament, with minimal warping during printing and no need for a heated chamber. Designed for engineers who demand the best in thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and dielectric insulation. This glass fiberreinforced PPS filament is the go-to choice for high-performance applications across electronics, aerospace, and industrial environments.

Features

• Electrical Insulation-Fiberon PPS-GF20 offers 6.05 kV/mm dielectric strength and a low dielectric constant (2.71 @ 1MHz), making it perfect for electrical housings, ADAS sensor enclosures, and structural components in 5G base stations.
• Extreme Heat Resistance-Featuring a heat deflection temperature of up to 236.3C after annealing[1], FiberonPPS-GF20delivers extreme heat resistance for a wide range of demanding environments.
• UL94-V0 Flame Retardance-Ideal for automotive, railway and aerospace applications, FiberonPPS-GF20 displays V0 performance in the UL94 flame retardancy test, benefiting applications where respective material approval is required. FiberonPPS-GF20 can reduce the intensity of a fire or slow/stop the spread of fire due to its self-extinguishing characteristics.
• Chemical Resistance –FiberonPPS-GF20 is developed to withstand the harshest environments, delivering outstanding chemical resistance.
• Excellent stiffness & moisture insensitivity-Compounded with 10% chopped carbon fiber,FiberonPPS-GF20 offers excellent mechanical strength and stiffness for a wide range of jig, fixture,automotive and manufacturing applications. FiberonPPS-GFis a “moisture insensitive” composite filament[2],ensuring excellent mechanical properties regardless of moisture absorption. This is in comparison to parts produced in nylon-based carbon fiber that absorb moisture from the air, a process which reduces tensile strength and stiffness of carbon fiber nylon parts. With Fiberon PPS-GF20 users can print end-use parts for a wide range of industries without concerns of mechanical performance if the component is exposed to humid or wet applications.
• High Speed Capable –Fiberon PPS-GF20is high speed capable industrial material, enabling printing up to 250mm/s on suitable high speed printers.
• Printer Compatibility & Excellent Surface Finish –Unlike other ultra performance polymers that require actively heated and high temperature chamber environments,FiberonPPS-GF has been developed to print on a wide-range of 3D printersthat can reach a 310 – 350C nozzle temperature.

[1]Fiberon PPS-GF20displays the best mechanical and thermal properties when fully crystallized. The printed part will not reach full crystallization during the printing process, an additional step is required: Annealing. PPS-GF20 can be annealed in the oven at 130C for 10hours.
[2]Moisture insensitivity does not describe whether the filamentshould be kept dry for optimal print quality. This descriptionof moisture insensitivity is in the context of the end-use application where extremely moisture sensitive materials like PA6-CFsee a significant reduction in mechanical properties as the part absorbs moisture. With PPS-GF moisture absorption is minimal and doesn’t impact the mechanical properties of the part.For best printing results PPS-GF should still be kept dry during printing and storage.

Technical Data

All PPS-GF specimens were printed with 350C nozzle temperature, 90C bed temperature, cooling fan OFF and samples were annealed after printingat 130C for 10h. Samples were printed with 100% infil,2 shells and 3 top & bottom layers.

FIBERON PPS-GF20 PHYSICALPROPERTIES

FIBERON PPS-GF 20THERMALPROPERTIES

PPS is a semi-crystalline material, it’s crystalline regions offer many properties, but in particular their structure deliver the heat resistance that PPSis known for. Annealing after printing is a critical process to achieve consistent crystallinity and complete the production process of PPS parts.
