CPE ANTIBAC

Antibacterial filament for effective protection against microbes

Fiberlogy CPE ANTIBAC is an innovative antibacterial filament with high mechanical and temperature resistance combined with antimicrobial properties. Considering the resistance to high temperatures, it surpasses e.g. PET-G or PCTG filament that belong to the same polymer family. It is resistant to temperatures up to 110°C and the effects of UV radiation, chemicals, and lipids.
CPE ANTIBAC is odorless, as well as BPA, BPS and styrene-free. This antibacterial filament ownes its properties to silver nanoparticles that guarantee effective protection against microbes. The microbiological tests performed show biocidal properties both of the filaments and 3D prints. Research results confirm the effectiveness in reducing the number of bacteria, among others Escherichia coli (by 100%) and Staphylococcus aureus (by 92.4%). In the repeated testing, a result of 100% and 97%, respectively, was obtained. Due to its unique properties, Fiberlogy CPE ANTIBAC shall be applied in prints exposed to microbial growth, such as plastic elements found in public spaces, laboratory equipment, as well as clinical accessories.

3D PRINTING APPLICATIONS:

PUBLIC SPACE: light switches, door handles
MEDICINE: clinical equipment, accessories, finishing elements
ELECTRONICS: keyboards, pin-pads, housings
HOUSE: elements exposed to dirt, pot handles

How to print CPE ANTIBAC?

The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.

 

Nozzle Temperature 260-280°C
Bed Temperature 110-120°C
Closed chamber not required
Fan 0-25%
Flowrate 95-105%
Printing Speed < 100 mm/s
Surface masking tape, PVA glue, hairspray
Retraction (direct) 1-2 mm
Retraction (bowden) 4-6 mm
Retraction Speed 20-45 mm/s
Drying conditions 60°C / 4h
Notes Due to the strong adhesion to the bed, it is not recommended to print directly on its surface or on glass. This can lead to damage. We recommend using a masking tape.
