Luvocom® 3F PEEK 9581 NT Filament.

Luvocom 3F PEEK 9581 NT is an additive-modified polyether ether ketone built for FFF and FDM printing from the start. That distinction is the whole product: most PEEK filament is an injection-moulding grade wound onto a spool, and it prints like one.

We normally supply pure materials without additives. Here additives were used deliberately, to improve the flow, the printability and the quality of the printed part. It combines that with high mechanical strength.

It is aimed at aerospace and aircraft parts, specialised automotive work, oil and gas, and the medical industry, including customised prosthetics such as cranial plates. The material is approved to EN ISO 10993-1, -5 and -12, carries UN-ECE R.118.03 for the fire behaviour of materials in buses, meets the NORSOK M 710 requirements, and complies with the European RoHS and REACH guidelines.

Do not use it in medical applications involving permanent implantation in the human body. Printing it requires local exhaust ventilation at the workplace or on the printer itself.

Print at 390 to 440 °C on a bed at 120 °C or above, slowly, with Magigoo HT on glass or a PEI sheet. Local exhaust ventilation at the workplace or on the printer is required.

Drying is mandatory.

This material must be dried before printing, without exception. A PEEK that has taken up moisture will foam at these temperatures rather than flow, and the part is lost before the first layer finishes.
