QTS PC-ABS Engineering Grade 3D Printing Filament — Combining PC Strength with ABS Toughness
PC-ABS is a high-performance polymer alloy material modified by blending Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). This material combines the high heat resistance and high strength of PC with the toughness and excellent processability of ABS, achieving an ideal balance between mechanical properties, stability, and aesthetic quality.
Compared to pure PC, PC-ABS is easier to 3D print, effectively reducing the risk of stress cracking. Compared to ABS, it offers better heat resistance and structural stability. The material has a high surface finish and is well-compatible with post-processing techniques like metal plating and coating, making it suitable for parts requiring both functionality and aesthetic quality.
Core Advantages: The Perfect Balance of Industrial Performance
1. 【Ultra-High Heat Resistance】HDT 101°C
- Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) up to 101°C, capable of withstanding higher operating temperatures, significantly exceeding standard ABS, suitable for functional and industrial applications.
- Ideal for automotive interior parts or electronic device casings exposed to high temperatures for extended periods.
2. 【High Strength and Excellent Impact Resistance】
- Tensile strength up to 50 MPa, flexural strength 77 MPa, combining PC's high strength with ABS's excellent toughness, making it less brittle.
- Izod Notched Impact strength 35 kJ/m², providing outstanding impact resistance.
3. 【Excellent Printing Performance】
- Good flowability, higher printing success rate than pure PC, effectively reducing the risk of stress cracking.
- High dimensional stability, minimizing warping and curling issues, especially suitable for large structural part printing.
4. 【Excellent Post-Processing Compatibility】
- Finished parts have a fine appearance and high surface finish, well-compatible with post-processing techniques like metal plating, coating, and polishing.
- Suitable for manufacturing end-use products with high aesthetic requirements.
