Bambu Lab PPS-CF Filament on Spool

PPS-CF is a composite material made from carbon fiber-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide. The combination of PPS resin and carbon fiber gives PPS-CF exceptional properties, including excellent resistance to solvents, corrosion, heat, and flames. Additionally, it offers superior strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability, making it a specialized engineering plastic that meets the demands of unique and challenging applications.

Note: PPS-CF is for X1E printing only. The filament is also not compatible with AMS or AMS Lite.

Key features

• Ultra-High Heat Resistanse
• Top-Tier Flame Retardant Properties
• Peerless Mechanical Properties
• Solvent and Chemical Resistance
• Ultra-Low Water Absorption

Ultra-High Heat Resistance

PPS-CF boasts a heat deflection temperature of up to 264℃ under 0.45 MPa and can continuously operate at temperatures exceeding 200℃. This significantly outperforms normal PA-CF materials, which have maximum temperatures around 190°C and 120℃. Its exceptional heat resistance ensures outstanding creep resistance, making PPS-CF ideal for demanding industrial environments and applications.

Superior Flame Retardancy

PPS-CF achieves a UL-94 V-0 flame retardant rating, offering superior safety and reliability in critical areas such as electronics and automotive components. PPS-CF provides long-lasting durability and peace of mind even in the most demanding environments.

Unmatched Mechanical Properties

Combining the stiffness of PPS polymers with the reinforcing power of carbon fiber, PPS-CF offers exceptional stiffness, bending strength, and tensile strength. Its superior dimensional stability and resistance to warping ensure that large-scale prints maintain precision and avoid deformation during the printing process, making it perfect for high-precision applications.

Ultra-Low Water Absorption

With an extremely low moisture absorption rate of just 0.05%, PPS-CF ensures that its mechanical and thermal properties remain stable even in humid conditions. Unlike normal PA-CF, which can soften and degrade when exposed to moisture, PPS-CF maintains its strength and durability, making it the superior option for applications requiring high moisture resistance.

Printing Tips

Bambu PPS-CF Printing Guidelines:

• Nozzle Temperature: Recommended range is 310 to 340°C.
• Chamber Temperature: Recommended range is 60 to 90°C.
• Tip: Using higher values within these ranges can enhance the mechanical properties of the printed parts, especially in the Z-direction.

Drying Recommendations:

• Drying Temperature:
• In a blast drying oven: 100°C to 140°C for 8 to 12 hours.
• On an X1 printer's heatbed: 110°C to 120°C for 10 to 12 hours (less effective than a blast drying oven).
• Important Note: Higher temperatures within the drying range yield better results, but do not exceed 160°C to avoid damaging the spool.
• Additional Information: For more details, refer to Printing tips for Engineering materials on Bambu Lab WIKI.

Storage Tips:

• Storage Condition: To prevent the filament from absorbing moisture, use an airtight storage container with desiccant during printing.
• For Further Details: Please refer to Printing tips for Engineering materials on Bambu Lab WIKI.

Annealing Prints:

• If you need to anneal the prints, please refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and the WIKI section Work After Printing Finished on Bambu Lab.
