Fiberon™ PETG-ESD

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection Fiberon™ PETG-ESD is specifically engineered to provide reliable electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety, making it an excellent choice for 3D printing parts used in electronics manufacturing, assembly, and handling. This property helps protect sensitive electronic components from static electricity damage during production and use.

Enhanced Toughness Beyond ESD protection, Fiberon™ PETG-ESD offers improved toughness compared to standard PETG, delivering greater impact resistance and durability for demanding industrial applications.

Advanced Carbon Nanotube Compounding This filament is compounded with carbon nanotubes, which are responsible for its ESD-safe properties. The use of carbon nanotubes ensures consistent conductivity throughout the printed part, maintaining ESD protection even after machining or wear. Note: For further reading on the effectiveness of carbon nanotube compounding, see this research on ABS compounded with carbon nanotubes .

Printing Recommendations

Nozzle temperature	250 - 290°C
Build plate temperature	70 - 80°C
Environmental temperature	Room Temperature
Fan speed	0%
Printing speed	30 - 300 mm/s

Printing Tips

This material has a requirement of a hardened nozzle due to the abrasiveness. An all metal hotend is recommended, though not needed.

• Print a bit slower if experiencing any layer adhesion issues.

• Run the cooling fan at a max of 50% and reduce if experiencing any layer adhesion issues.

• Keep door open if printing in enclosed printer - enclosure is not needed.

FAQ

How long will PETG-ESD remain ESD safe?

The ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) safety of PETG-ESD filament can degrade over time, depending on environmental factors like humidity, temperature, and exposure to dust or contaminants. PETG-ESD filaments contain conductive additives, which can wear off or lose effectiveness due to surface abrasion or environmental wear. Typically, the ESD-safe properties should remain intact for 1-2 years under controlled conditions, but regular testing is recommended to ensure continued ESD performance. Storing parts in a clean, dry environment can help maintain their ESD properties longer.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

That said - you will need to be careful when using any abrasive materials in the AMS.

What is the difference between PET and PETG?

PET and PETG differ in their chemical structure, properties, printability, and applications. PETG is more flexible, easier to print, and suitable for 3D printing and medical applications, while PET is more durable and suitable for applications requiring thermal resistance.

How does PETG-ESD surface resistivity vs printing temperature work?

The surface resistivity is related with the nozzle temperature, as the surface resistivity related with

1. the conductivity of material

2. the adhesion of shell to shell and layer to layer - less space within the shell to shell and layer to layer help to lower surface resistivity

Therefore using higher nozzle temperature helps lower the surface resistivity.

Can you make Fiberon spools in 1KG?

Unfortunately we are not offering 1KG Fiberon™ options and this has to do with the increased chance of carbon fiber and glass fiber filament snapping on the spool.

Since carbon fiber and glass fiber filament is more brittle, we spool these with a larger core. This larger core means that 1KG of filament will not fit on a 1KG spool. 3KG options of all Fiberon™ spools are available though.
