UL94 V-0 — what it means for you
UL94 V-0 is the highest flame retardancy rating for plastics. A V-0 rated part self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after flame removal with no dripping of burning particles. This filament achieves V-0 at just 1.2mm wall thickness — making it compliant for electronics enclosures, home appliances, and automotive interior components where fire safety standards are mandatory. The FR system is halogen-free (Cl/Br free) — no toxic gas release in case of combustion.

Print Settings (FDM)
Dry before every print
Dry at 65°C for 4–6 hours before printing. PC-ABS absorbs moisture readily — wet filament causes popping, rough surfaces, and weaker layer bonding.
| Parameter | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Drying Temperature | 65°C | Mandatory if moisture-exposed |
| Drying Time | 4–6 hours | Cool in sealed container before use |
| Nozzle Temperature | 260–285°C | All-metal hotend required; start at 270°C |
| Bed Temperature | 95–110°C | Textured PEI + light adhesive for large parts |
| Enclosure / Chamber | 50–70°C | Strongly recommended for flatness & layer bond |
| Print Speed | 100–180 mm/s | Optimal range for speed and layer bond |
| Cooling Fan | 0–20% | Keep low or off for strength & warp control |
| Brim | 5–10 mm | Recommended for all parts; 5–10 mm |
| Nozzle Type | Brass / All-metal | No hardened nozzle needed — not fiber-filled |
| Storage | Sealed + desiccant | 0–40°C, away from UV |
PC-ABS vs Standard ABS
Standard ABS
- No flame retardancy — flammable
- Lower heat resistance (Vicat ~95°C typical)
- No flame retardancy — burns and drips
- Weaker cold-temperature impact performance
- Not compliant for regulated electronics/appliance applications
PC-ABS (this filament)
- ✓UL94 V-0 at 1.2mm — self-extinguishing, Cl/Br free
- ✓Higher Vicat softening (101°C) — survives hotter environments
- ✓Stronger interlayer bonding — better Z-axis mechanical performance
- ✓11 kJ/m² impact strength at −40°C — tough in cold
- ✓Meets fire safety requirements for electronics, appliances, automotive
Industry Applications
Automotive & Industrial
Under-hood brackets, interior trim, control panel housings, and functional jigs where UL94 V-0 and heat tolerance above 80°C are required.
Electronics Enclosures
Device housings, instrument panels, and power supply enclosures where UL94 V-0 flame retardancy is specified or mandated by compliance standards.
Home Appliances
Structural parts for kitchen appliances, HVAC components, and domestic equipment where both heat and fire safety requirements apply.
Industrial Goods & Tooling
Jigs, fixtures, and production tooling in environments with elevated temperature, regulatory compliance requirements, or fire risk considerations.
Professional Prototyping
Appearance models and functional prototypes requiring a smooth, electroplating-ready surface with engineering-grade mechanical properties.
Robotics & Drones
Frames, camera mounts, and structural components where impact toughness, stiffness, and low weight are required alongside temperature resistance.
Key Properties
UL94 V-0 — Halogen-Free
Self-extinguishing at 1.2mm wall thickness. Cl/Br free FR system — no toxic halogen gas release during combustion. Meets electronics and appliance fire safety requirements.
PC Toughness + ABS Printability
Retains 11 kJ/m² impact strength at −40°C. Prints reliably with standard FDM equipment — no ultra-high-temperature system required. Lower warp than pure PC.
Sand & Electroplating Ready
Smooth surface finish straight off the bed. Sands and machines cleanly, compatible with electroplating workflows for metal-look prototypes and production parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
V-0 means the material self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after a flame source is removed, with no dripping of burning particles. This is achieved at just 1.2mm wall thickness. For electronics housings, home appliances, and automotive components, V-0 is often a regulatory or customer-specified requirement. This filament meets that requirement without halogenated (Cl/Br) flame retardants.
Vicat softening temperature is 101°C and HDT at 0.45 MPa is 92°C — meaningfully higher than standard ABS (typically Vicat ~95°C). For lightly loaded parts, the material handles environments up to approximately 90°C. For structural parts under load, design for the HDT at 1.8 MPa (84°C).
No hardened nozzle needed — PC-ABS contains no fibres. A standard brass nozzle works fine. You do need an all-metal hotend (no PTFE in the heat zone) to sustain 260–285°C printing temperatures. An enclosed chamber is strongly recommended for parts larger than 50 x 50 mm.
PC-ABS warps in a similar way to standard ABS — do not expect a significant improvement. A brim is recommended for all parts, not just large ones. Use a 95–110°C heated bed, an enclosed chamber at 50–70°C, and a light adhesive (glue stick) on PEI for reliable first-layer adhesion.
Yes to all three. PC-ABS sands smoothly — wet-sand progressively for a primer-ready surface. Standard spray primers and paints adhere well. Electroplating workflows (chrome-look finish) are also compatible. Use ABS-compatible cement or mechanical fasteners for bonding parts together.
Yes — stable diameter (±0.05 mm) and precision winding make it compatible with Bambu AMS and similar multi-spool systems. For best results, print in an enclosed machine (Bambu X1 or P1 with door closed) and ensure the system can sustain 260–285°C at the hotend.
