Quick3D 3DXTECH Firewire Flame Retardant PC/ABS
FireWire · PC/ABS filament for FFF
Overview
A flame-retardant PC/ABS alloy filament made from a UL94 V-0 rated resin. It pairs polycarbonate's strength and heat resistance with ABS-like printability, outperforming ABS on strength and HDT, for parts needing self-extinguishing behaviour.

Characteristics
- High tempHeat deflection temperature of 100 °C or more — keeps its shape in hot environments.
- Flame retardantUL 94 rating of V-0, V-1 or V-2 — stops burning on its own once the flame is removed.
Certifications
- UL 94 V-0Flammability rating from the UL 94 test. V-0 is the highest common rating: the flame goes out within 10 seconds with no burning drips.
As stated by 3DXTECH. Ask us for the certificate if you need it for an audit.
