Chemical composition See PC safety data sheet, section 3

Description With Ultimaker PC filament, you can print strong and tough parts that
retain dimensional stability when subjected to temperatures as high as
110 °C. Our PC is engineered to be printed at moderate temperatures
compared to other PC filaments and shows minimized warping to provide
a seamless 3D printing experience

Key features High toughness (especially for the non-transparent filament options),
temperature resistance, flame retardant characteristics, dimensionally
stable, strong interlayer bonding (especially when using the front
enclosure add-on), good bed adhesion (especially when using adhesion
sheets). Allows printing of translucent parts with the transparent
filament option

Applications Lighting, molds, engineering parts, tools, functional prototyping, and

short-run manufacturing

Non-suitable for Food contact and in vivo applications. Applications where the printed part
is exposed to temperatures higher than 110 °C

Notes
Properties reported here are average of a typical batch. The 3D printed test specimens were printed in the XY plane,
using the normal quality profile in Ultimaker Cura 2.1, an Ultimaker 2+, a 0.4 mm nozzle, 90% infill, 260 °C nozzle
temperature, and 110 °C build plate temperature. The values are the average of five transparent, five white, and five
black specimens for the tensile, flexural, and impact tests. The Shore hardness D was measured in a 7-mm-thick
square printed in the XY plane, using the normal quality profile in Ultimaker Cura 2.5, an Ultimaker 3, a 0.4 mm
print core, and 100% infill. The electrical properties were measured on a 54-mm-diameter disk with 3 mm thickness
printed in the XY plane, using the fine quality profile (0.1 mm layer height) in Ultimaker Cura 3.2.1, an Ultimaker 3,
a 0.4 mm print core, and 100% infill. Ultimaker is constantly working on extending the TDS data.

Ultimaker PC could pass V-2 (UL94) at thickness > 1 mm when printed with 100% infill. Lower infill may lead to
reduced flame retardancy performance.
