    Glass-Filled Polycarbonate Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Glass-Filled Polycarbonate Sheets.
    The addition of glass fibers to this polycarbonate increases tensile strength for structural applications. It also gives these sheets increased thermal stability, so they maintain their physical properties when thermoforming. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

    Stronger than standard polycarbonate rods, these glass-filled rods will better maintain their physical properties when thermoforming. Use them for structural applications. Polycarbonate is comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

    High-Strength Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate 3D Printer Filaments

    Image of Product. Front orientation. 3D Printer Filaments. High-Strength Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate 3D Printer Filaments .
    Create strong, durable parts that carry heavy loads and absorb blows and other impact without cracking or breaking. Made of polycarbonate, these filaments are stronger and resist heat better than other impact-resistant filaments, such as those made from ABS or ASA.
    Use with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. These filaments have a high melting point and must be printed onto a heated bed. Without it, parts will cool too quickly and warp. These filaments also release fumes as they are printed, so use an enclosed printer or a fume exhauster to ventilate them.
    Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.
    Fiberglass Filled—Fiberglass-filled polycarbonate filaments make parts that are less likely to warp or shrink than parts made from polycarbonate filaments without a filler. Fiberglass-filled filaments are abrasive, so you should use them with an abrasion-resistant nozzle.
    UL 94 V-0—UL 94 V-0 rated filaments meet strict flammability standards. Use them to create holders, guards, housings, and other parts that protect sensitive, flammable equipment and machinery.
    Tensile Strength—Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.
