The Swedish material developer Graphmatech and the Lithuanian filament manufacturer Filalab UAB have introduced a new filament called C-PETG. This graphene-enriched material is described as one of the fastest ESD-safe polymer solutions on the market. Developed for the requirements of modern electronics manufacturing, it enables printing speeds of up to 120 mm/s and reliably protects sensitive components from static electricity.
According to the company, C-PETG can print 20% to 120% faster than conventional ESD polymer filaments. This significantly reduces production time. In addition to speed, the filament is designed to protect sensitive electronic components by effectively dissipating static electricity.
Graphmatech uses its patented graphene technology to improve not only conductivity but also print quality. The material minimizes defects such as stringing and enables more complex designs with better overhangs. In addition, C-PETG is compatible with standard 0.4 mm nozzles. Manufacturers such as Prusa Research or Bambu Lab rely on this standard size for their printers, which makes C-PETG accessible to a broad user base.
In the electronics industry, where static electricity causes between 8% and 33% of product losses, C-PETG offers a reliable solution. It is ideal for applications such as packaging, tools and assembly aids.
Graphmatech, a spin-off from Uppsala University, has made an international name for itself with its innovative graphene technology. Filalab UAB, founded in Vilnius in 2020, complements this expertise with in-depth experience in filament production and has secured its place in the industry through ISO-certified quality. C-PETG is available now.
