Prografen PET-G Graphene Strong

Prografen PET-G Graphene Strong is a high-quality polymer 3D printing filament containing 5% edge-functionalized graphene flakes (EFG). It is designed for engineering and industrial applications. This high-performance filament is characterized by exceptional mechanical strength, wear resistance and low abrasion.

Prografen PET-G Graphene Strong offers significantly improved mechanical properties compared to pure PET-G. Its tensile strength is 25% higher and its stiffness (Young’s modulus) is increased by 20%. This makes the filament more resistant to stress and ideally suited for advanced technical applications. Additionally, the flow rate (MFR) is 170% higher than pure PET-G, enabling high-speed printing while maintaining excellent print quality. Low abrasion means the filament can be easily printed using standard brass nozzles without the risk of excessive wear, unlike materials reinforced with carbon fibers.

Prografen PET-G Graphene Strong is a perfect choice for printing parts that require high mechanical strength, such as functional prototypes or spare parts. Thanks to its wear resistance and low abrasion, it can be also suitable for printing gears or guides. Its excellent dimensional stability and fast printing capabilities make it an ideal choice where precision and speed are essential.

Graphene is a one-atom-thick material composed of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure, which significantly enhances the mechanical and functional properties of PET-G. Known for its extraordinary strength, flexibility, electrical and thermal conductivity, graphene is one of the most promising materials of the 21st century. Enriching PET-G with graphene makes this filament ideal for a wide range of demanding applications.
