PP-GF-FR (Beon3D 2293G)

LyondellBasell · Beon3D PP-GF-FR 2293G Black

Beon3D PP-GF-FR 2293G is a glass-fibre reinforced polypropylene with a halogen-free flame-retardant package that LyondellBasell developed expressly for pellet printing (FGF) – not for injection moulding. It closes a gap in our range: flame-retardant PP with UL 94 V-0. A sample is currently under evaluation here.

This material is still under evaluation at our site

We have it in house and are working towards process release, but it is not yet qualified. We therefore cannot commit to it for series parts. If it suits your application, talk to us – we will tell you openly where we stand, and we can use it as part of a trial.

Property profile

Rated 1 to 5 relative to the other materials in our range. This is an experience-based orientation aid, not a measured value – the hard numbers are in the table below.

Test conditions of the printed values	Ultimaker S5, CC 0.6 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer height (Z specimens 0.1 mm), 100 % infill, nozzle 230 °C, bed 90 °C, 40 mm/s	LyondellBasell TDS
Use excluded by the manufacturer	not for medical, pharmaceutical, toys, safety components, weapons, cosmetic packaging, food or drinking water	LyondellBasell TDS

The manufacturer determined these values on printed specimens rather than injection-moulded ones, which makes them considerably more meaningful than typical datasheet figures. Note the orientations given: values in the layer plane (X, or XY and XZ) are considerably higher than those across the layers (Z, or ZX). Part orientation has to match the load direction – we are happy to advise.

Strengths

UL 94 V-0 at 3.0 mm while halogen-free – flame-retardant PP closes a gap in our range
Developed expressly for pellet printing, not carried over from injection moulding
The manufacturer publishes values measured on the printed part in three orientations – which is rare
Low warpage and very low water absorption
Scratch resistant, low gloss, low VOC emission

Limitations

Not yet qualified on our machine – please treat as a request for quotation
Extreme anisotropy: of 27 MPa in the printing direction, only 5 MPa remain across the layers
The manufacturer determined the printed values on a filament printer with a 0.6 mm nozzle, not on a pellet printer – different values are to be expected on our machine
Dimensionally stable only to 80 °C (HDT A)
The manufacturer expressly excludes medical, food, drinking-water and safety applications

Typical applications

Parts with fire-protection requirements where polyamide is too expensive or too moisture sensitive
Housings and covers in electrical engineering
Chemically loaded parts with a flame-retardancy requirement
Large-area parts where the low warpage is decisive
