Spectrum PC/ABS FR V0 Black Filament 1.75mm – 1kg

Spectrum PC/ABS FR V0 Black is a professional-grade engineering filament developed for applications where mechanical durability, thermal performance, and fire safety are critical requirements. Combining the strength and heat resistance of polycarbonate with the printability of ABS, this advanced material delivers reliable performance for functional prototypes, production tooling, electrical enclosures, and industrial components. It is designed to meet UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements, providing self-extinguishing properties for applications where fire resistance is important.

Unlike standard ABS or PC blends, Spectrum PC/ABS FR V0 utilizes halogen-free flame-retardant modifiers, offering enhanced safety without relying on bromine or chlorine-based additives. The result is a durable engineering material with excellent interlayer adhesion, a stable printing process, and an attractive high-gloss surface finish.
