1. Product Overview

Siraya Tech Fibreheart PAHT-CF Core is an advanced FDM 3D printing filament engineered for exceptional performance.

This innovative material features a unique skin-core structure, combining polyphthalamide (PPA) - a high-temperature nylon (PAHT) outer layer with a 25% chopped carbon fiber reinforced core. This architecture delivers superior mechanical properties, heat resistance, and layer adhesion compared to traditional fiber-filled filaments.

2. Key Features

Revolutionary Core-Shell Structure
    • Optimized Fiber Distribution: 25% carbon fiber concentrated in the filament core
    • Enhanced Layer Adhesion: PPA outer shell ensures superior Z-axis bonding
    • Reduced Nozzle Wear: Protective outer layer minimizes abrasive fiber contact with printer components
Performance Benefits
    • Superior Mechanical Properties: Higher fiber content (25%) enables exceptional strength and stiffness
    • Enhanced Layer Bonding: Pure resin shell-to-shell contact provides superior Z-axis strength
    • Excellent Dimensional Stability: Core-shell structure minimizes warping and improves part accuracy
    • Extended Equipment Life: Reduced wear on nozzles, extruders, and other printer components
    • Easy on the Hand: Less fiber on the outer shell means less chance for short fiber irritating skin
