Bambu Lab PPS-CF – High-Performance Carbon Fiber Composite
PPS-CF is a composite material made from polyphenylene sulfide reinforced with carbon fibers. The combination of PPS resin and carbon fibers provides exceptional properties:
-
Excellent resistance to solvents, corrosion, heat, and flames
-
Outstanding strength and stiffness
-
Exceptional dimensional stability
PPS-CF is the ideal choice for complex and demanding projects where material reliability and high performance are essential.

Ultra High Thermal Resistance
PPS-CF boasts a heat deflection temperature of up to 264 °C at 0.45 MPa and can operate continuously at temperatures exceeding 200 °C. This significantly surpasses typical PA-CF materials, which have maximum temperatures around 190 °C and 120 °C. Its exceptional thermal resistance ensures excellent creep resistance, making PPS-CF ideal for demanding industrial environments and applications.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Deflection Temperature / ℃ (0.45 MPa) | 57 ℃ | 87 ℃ | 117 ℃ | 184 ℃ | 186 ℃ | 205 ℃ | 227 ℃ | 264 ℃ |
Excellent Flame Retardancy
PPS-CF achieves a UL-94 V-0 flame retardant rating and offers outstanding safety and reliability in critical areas such as electronics and automotive components. PPS-CF provides long-lasting resistance and peace of mind even in the harshest environments.
Unmatched Mechanical Properties
By combining the stiffness of PPS polymers with the reinforcing power of carbon fibers, PPS-CF offers exceptional rigidity, flexural strength, and tensile strength. Its outstanding dimensional stability and resistance to deformation ensure that large prints maintain accuracy and avoid warping during the printing process, making it ideal for high-precision applications.
| Property | PET-CF | PPS-CF | Improvement % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stiffness (Flexural Modulus - XY, Dry) | 5320 MPa | 7160 MPa | 34.59 % |
| Strength (Flexural Strength – XY, Dry) | 131 MPa | 142 MPa | 8.40 % |
Solvent and Chemical Resistance
PPS-CF offers excellent resistance to solvents and chemicals, second only to PTFE (Teflon). It remains virtually insoluble in any solvent below 200 °C and exhibits exceptional resistance to acids, bases, and salts under normal conditions. This makes PPS-CF an ideal choice for demanding environments where chemical stability is critical.
Ultra Low Water Absorption
With an extremely low moisture absorption rate of just 0.05%, PPS-CF ensures that its mechanical and thermal properties remain stable even in humid conditions. Unlike regular PA-CF, which can soften and degrade when exposed to moisture, PPS-CF retains its strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring high moisture resistance.
