ABS Kevlar Filament – Black – Spectrum

ABS Kevlar Filament – Black – Spectrum

Spectrum ABS Kevlar is an ABS-based structural composite filament with the addition of aramid fibers known as Kevlar.

ABS reinforced with aramid fibres

Spectrum ABS Kevlar is an ABS-based structural composite filament with the addition of aramid fibers known as Kevlar. The search for properties superior to those offered by standard ABS, for durability and for increased tensile strength, has given rise to actions aimed at combining the very good properties of ABS with aramid fibres.

The modifications applied resulted in reduced shrinkage, excellent adhesion to the work platforms and reduced material density, meaning the printed parts are slightly lighter than their counterparts made with standard ABS. The excellent dimensional stability enables 3D printing of objects with precise dimensions, which is particularly important for projects consisting of multiple parts.

Key Features:

• industrial grade material
• material enriched with aramid fibres
• Vicat softening point: 95°C
• Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): 88°C
• high hardness and impact strength
• high mechanical strength
• very strong layer lamination

Applications:

• automotive industry
• production of parts for end use
• production tools
• creating functional prototypes
• non-standard components
• assembly tools
• production of housings and covers
