Material

PET-CF — Carbon-fibre reinforced PET

The stiffness of carbon nylon, without its sensitivity to moisture.

Use it for

  • Jigs and fixtures that must hold their dimension for months
  • Parts in contact with oils, greases and workshop products
  • Rigid brackets under permanent load up to 130 °C

What it will not do

  • Three times the price of PETG: only worth it if the load demands it
  • Matt, slightly rough surface — not a cosmetic material
  • Black only

What we have learned using it

A lot of enquiries come in asking for PET-CF when PETG is more than enough. We say so: an over-specified part has never won anyone's loyalty.

Consider instead

  • PA6-GF — if the part must absorb impact
  • PPA-CF — beyond 130 °C

Names are the manufacturer's own and serve as the ordering reference. The colour runs through the material, it is not painted on — swatches are indicative, a physical sample prevails.
