PC/PET composition with 30 % carbon fibre

A grade for rigid industrial parts

AddiNova PC/PET-30CF

PC/PET30 % carbon fibre

A highly filled composition of polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate with 30 % carbon fibre. Compared with the 5CF grade, the technical data sheet records a higher tensile strength and modulus with a lower melt flow rate.

Application per the technical data sheet

Guide to choosing within the PC/PET family

The 5CF grade has a melt flow rate of 20–25 g/10 min, a tensile strength of 130 MPa and a modulus of 7000 MPa. The 30CF grade has 10–15 g/10 min, 150 MPa and 8000 MPa. The choice is confirmed by test prints on the specific geometry and equipment.
