• Heat Distortion Temp (HDT @ 1.8MPa) of 298°C
• Melt Temp (Tm) of 343°C
• Inherent flame resistance (UL94 V-0)
• Outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance
• Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) of 260°C for 10,000 hours, up to 298°C for short durations (ONLY POSSIBLE WITH PROPERLY CRYSTALLIZED PARTS).
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as those used in the oil/gas, automotive, aerospace, industrial, and chemical processing industries

Filament Specifications:
• Diameter:  1.75mm (+/- 0.05mm)
• Colors:  BLACK/NATURAL
• Larger reel quantities available upon request

 

Recommended Print Conditions:
• Extruder Temp:  395 – 410°C
• Bed Temp: 125 – 145°C
• Bed Prep: Bed Prep: Rough Borosilicate Glass with PVP gluestick, or high temp carbon fiber sheet plus PVP glue stick, we also recommend the Vision Miner Nano Polymer
• Enclosure temp (if your printer is equipped):  70 – 140°C [hotter is better, up to 140°C]
• Print Speed:  10-50 mm/s for 0.2mm layer height, fast as results dictate
• Drying Instructions: Please dry at @110-120°C for 12-24 hours, for the first dry its recommended to dry for at least 24 hours before using, the drying time can be lowered using a vacuum oven and also storing the filament in a degassing chamber when not in use.
• Nozzle: We strongly recommend a 0.4mm orifice or larger using one of our Carbide nozzles
• Layer Height:  Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter.  We do not recommend printing layers below 0.20mm with glass fiber grades.  Lower than 0.20mm may create too much back pressure in the hot end and result in poor feeding, jams, drive gear clicking, and eating a notch into the filament.
• Please note – GF-PEEK has a tendency to stick to metal (PEEK loves metal).  Please make sure to purge out your extruder before it cools down or you run the risk of permanent clogs.

FAQs  

1. What is PEEK-GF15?

PEEK-GF15 is a high-performance 3D printing filament made from PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) reinforced with 15% glass fibers. This combination delivers exceptional strength, and thermal resistance, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.

1. What are the key advantages of PEEK-GF15?

PEEK-GF15 offers the following advantages:

• Superior tensile and flexural strength.
• High thermal resistance, suitable for temperatures up to 250°C.
• Excellent chemical, wear, and corrosion resistance.
• Minimal warping and shrinkage during 3D printing.
• Ideal for high-precision and load-bearing applications.

1. What industries use PEEK-GF15?

PEEK-GF15 is widely used in industries such as:

• Aerospace: Lightweight and heat-resistant components.
• Automotive: High-temperature parts like connectors and housings.
• Medical Devices: Biocompatible parts for surgical instruments.
• Oil & Gas: Durable seals and insulative components.
• Electrical Engineering: High-performance insulation parts.

 

1. What 3D printers are compatible with PEEK-GF15?

PEEK-GF15 requires an industrial-grade 3D printer with:

• A heated build chamber (at least 120°C).
• An extrusion temperature of 360–400°C.
• A heated bed temperature of 120–150°C.
• Printers with advanced cooling and high-precision hardware are recommended for optimal results.

 

• Does PEEK-GF15 require any special post-processing?

While PEEK-GF15 produces dimensionally accurate prints, annealing the parts may further enhance their mechanical properties and relieve internal stresses. Innovate3Dglobal recommends annealing based on the application’s specific requirements.

1. What is the shelf life of PEEK-GF15?

When stored in a cool, dry environment with low humidity, PEEK-GF15 has a shelf life of 1–2 years. To ensure optimal printing, use filament stored in airtight containers with desiccants.

1. How does GF15-PEEK compare to standard PEEK filament?

PEEK-GF15 offers higher rigidity, strength, and dimensional stability than standard PEEK due to its 15% glass fiber reinforcement. It is better suited for structural and load-bearing applications where enhanced mechanical performance is critical.

1. What sizes and colors are available for PEEK-GF15?

PEEK-GF15 is available in the following options:

1. Diameter: 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm.
2. Spool Sizes: 500 g, 1 kg, or custom sizes upon request.
