Swedish material developer Graphmatech and Lithuanian filament manufacturer Filalab UAB recently introduced a new filament called C-PETG. The graphene-enriched material is described as one of the fastest ESD-safe polymer solutions on the market. Developed for the requirements of modern electronics manufacturing, it enables printing speeds of up to 120 mm/s and reliably protects sensitive components from static electricity.
It was stated that C-PETG can print 20% to 120% faster than conventional ESD polymer filaments, which can significantly reduce production time. In addition to speed, the filament is designed to protect sensitive electronic components by effectively dissipating static electricity.
Graphmatech uses its patented graphene technology to improve not only conductivity but also print quality. The material minimizes defects such as stringing and enables more complex designs with better overhangs. In addition, C-PETG is compatible with standard 0.4 mm nozzles. Manufacturers such as Prusa Research or Bambu Lab rely on this standard size for their printers, which makes C-PETG accessible to a broad user base.
In the electronics industry, where static electricity causes between 8% and 33% of product losses, C-PETG offers a reliable solution. It is ideal for applications such as packaging, tools and assembly aids.
C-PETG is available now.
