Product Texts
Filament based on high viscosity, unreinforced polyether ether ketone (PEEK) for 3D printed medical devices

VESTAKEEP® Care M40 3DF is extruded from naturally colored, high viscosity VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G PEEK resin. The material is designed for 3d printing of medical devices with up to 30 days body contact.  

Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility of the base resin VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G has been tested following ISO 10993-1 recommendations for medical devices with up to 30 days of body contact and USP Class VI. A summary of biocompatibility test results is available upon request.

Biocompatibility tests available for VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G:

Delivery and packaging
VESTAKEEP® Care M40 3DF filament has a diameter of 1.75 mm ( /- 0.04 mm*). It is supplied on TROGAMID®-spools with 500g. The spools are packaged in double bags to facilitate transfer into clean areas.

The properties listed are for information only and only apply to the VESTAKEEP® Care M40 G resin used in the manufacture of VESTAKEEP® Care M40 3DF. The performance and the purity of any parts manufactured from VESTAKEEP® Care M40 3DF are highly dependent on any 3D- or additive-printing processes, or any other processing, to which the filament is subjected.
Only density and filament diameter apply to VESTAKEEP® Care M40 3DF directly.

*Diameters are tested by a multi-axis laser gauge. The diameter is the average of these axis.

Drying recommendations

We recommend to dry the filament prior to usage to avoid stringing, bubbles, or other defects. 

a) Filament on spool: minimum 12 hours at 80°C to 100°C. 100°C must not be exceeded to avoid distortion of the spool.
b) Filament removed from spool: minimum 4 hours at 130°C to 140°C.
 
The maximum drying temperature of the filament is 140°C. Please also pay attention to the instructions of your drying device.



Spool dimensions

For dimensions of the spool, please see drawing below. All dimensions are given in millimeter (mm).
