Features & Benefits
- Materials Features
- Product Highlights
- PolyTetraFluoroethylene (PTFE) low friction index combined with polycarbonate’s (PC) mechanical resistance makes this filament ideal for mechanical pieces exposed to friction, such as gears.
- Nanovia PC-PTFE can be used up to 130°C.
- Ideal for mechanical parts that interact with other pieces.
- Advantages
- Very low friction index.
- Ideal for mechanical pieces.
- Better water resistance compared to native PC.
