PBT-I GF30 (Precite)

Akro-Plastic · Precite P3 GF304LA

Precite P3 GF 30 4 LA is a 30 percent glass-fibre reinforced, hydrolysis-stabilised and laser-markable PBT with a CTI of 600 V. It is impact modified, GMA-free and meets the VW 50136 standard – a precision material for parts that must stay dimensionally stable in high humidity.

These values are taken from the manufacturer datasheet and apply to the material, not to the printed part. In 3D printing the achievable properties depend on part orientation, layer height and process parameters – in the Z direction in particular they are lower. Please talk to us before relying on them for design.

“Qualified for functional parts” is a general classification. A functional part can be a simple clip or a main load-bearing member – the forces and load cases differ fundamentally. We therefore always assess in each individual case whether a material is suitable for your part.

Strengths

  • Hydrolysis stabilised – holds its dimensions even at high humidity
  • Laser markable, so labelling needs no additional part
  • CTI 600 V – high tracking resistance for electrical engineering
  • Impact modified and therefore less brittle than standard PBT-GF30
  • GMA-free and compliant with VW 50136

Limitations

  • The manufacturer explicitly marks this datasheet as preliminary
  • The glass fibre is abrasive to nozzle and screw
  • Values apply to dry injection-moulded specimens, not to the printed part
