Outgas Testing Results of Braskem Polypropylene and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Filaments
Outgas can be critical in the use of 3D printing in space or environments under vacuum. In particular, outgassing can effect critical electronics and optical equipment is not managed properly. When volatile compounds evaporate, they eventually will find a place to condense, which can result in surface contamination, corrosion, or fogging of critical components. See how Braskem materials performed in this 1 page case study.
Impact Toughness at Subzero Temperatures of Braskem Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Filament
The impact toughness of Braskem FL900PP-CF Carbon Fiber Reinforced polypropylene filament was tested at 0 degree and -20 degrees Celsius to better understand material performance at subzero temperature conditions. The material demonstrated outstanding performance retaining up to 99% of its impact toughness making it an excellent choice for cold weather applications.
