Silver (Ag) Certified Food Grade PETG Anti-Bacterial 3D Printer Filament - CARBON by Comfy Materials - Lab Tested Anti-Microbial Composite, 1.75mm, 1kg, Accuracy: +/- 0.02 (Natural PETG)

Brand: CARBON

Color: Natural Petg

Features:

• 【Silver (Ag) PETG Anti-Microbial Composite】-- Extruded from Eastman GN071 Copolyester. Silver (Ag) protects the PETG Material from excessive internal microbial growth. CARBON PETG Filament is Food Grade Certified by both TÜV SÜD and SGS with reference to 21 CFR 177.1630 of The U.S. Food & Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations (FDA 21 CFR 177.1630). Certificate included in listing images. GN071 is low odor (GREENGUARD Certified) and environmentally safe (Cradle to Cradle Certified).
• 【Lab Tested】-- Anti-Bacterial Silver (Ag) PETG has been Independently Lab Verified to reduce the growth of bacteria by 99.9%. The addition of Silver (Ag) ensures that in a bacteria heavy environment the PETG material will retain structure and internal sterility. Although the Anti-Viral properties of Silver (Ag) have been studied extensively, Silver (Ag) PETG does not claim to stop the spread of pathogens. Silver (Ag) PETG is lab tested, in compliance with FDA 21 CFR 177.1630.
• 【Smooth Printing】 -- Eastman GN071 Copolyester is one of the easiest resins to extrude and thermoform with. Advanced CCD diameter measuring and self-adaptive control system in the manufacturing produces PETG filaments of 1.75 mm diameter, with dimensional accuracy of: +/- 0.02 mm. A stable dimensional accuracy ensures you a smooth feeding experience.
• 【Mechanical Properties and Consistency】-- Use GN071 Copolyester for both 3D Printing and Injection Molding. CARBON by Comfy Materials PETG maintains Mechanical Consistency throughout your Project. Tensile strength (X-Y): 50 ± 1.1 (MPa), Bending modulus: 2100 ± 64 (MPa), Bending strength: 68 ± 2.4 (MPa), Izod impact strength: 103 ± 0.3 (J/m), Deflection Temperature: @0.455 MPa (66 psi) D 648 70 °C (158 °F), Processing Melt Temperature: 249-271 °C (480-520 °F).
• 【Professional Packaging & Compatibility】-- Filament is vacuum packaged with desiccant to keep filament dry and free of dust and foreign particles. Perfectly compatible with most FDM 3D printers, that support 3rd party materials. These include: Makerbot, Zortrax, Quidi, Prusa i3 MK3, M3D, Robo 3D, Wanhao, Creality Ender 3, Monoprice, FlashForge and more.
• 【Printing Temp and Nozzle Recommendation】-- Recommended Extrusion/Nozzle Temperature: 220°C - 260°C. We recommend replacing your brass nozzle with a stainless steel nozzle and using an all-metal hot end. Brass nozzles run the risk of containing lead, which can be dangerous for your health if consumed.
• 【Food Safe Suggestions】-- We suggest that you use a stainless steel nozzle and a stainless steel all-metal hot-end. Use a separate nozzle and hot end for Food Grade models. A second hot-end will keep your Food-Grade prints free from contaminants.
• 【Food Safe Slicing and Model Finishing】-- Depending on your slicing methods, your 3d Printing Machine, your finishing process, and your intended usage, the Food Safe Quality of your end product may change. Be sure to properly finish your models and use an appropriate sanitizer between uses of your end product. Printing solid models is advised.
• 【Difference Between Food Grade and Food Safe】-- Food-Grade means that the material is fit for human consumption or permitted to come into contact with food. Food-Safe means that the Food-Grade material is also fit for purpose, for its intended use, and will not create a food-safety hazard. For example, it may be fit for purpose to use a Food-Grade container to hold a dry ingredient, but that same container may not be fit for purpose to be used to hold a hot liquid.
• 【Food Safe Considerations】-- Just because a material is permitted to come into contact with food does not necessarily mean it is Food-Safe. Our Filament is Food Grade, and without modification is also Food Safe. Once the Filament is molded or extruded into a new shape, by the end user, the Food Safe Qualities need to be reassessed.
