Tectonic3D VULCAN PEKK-A Flame Retardant Filament (2.85mm)
VULCAN PEKK-A is now sold directly by Tectonic-3D. Paragon Visual can still help with the compatible UltiMaker Factor 4 platform, application guidance, and our in-stock Tectonic 3D materials.
Description
Availability update: Tectonic-3D now sells VULCAN PEKK-A directly to customers rather than through resellers, so this filament is no longer available for purchase from Paragon Visual. We can still help with everything around it: the UltiMaker Factor 4 platform it runs on, high-temperature material planning, and the rest of the Tectonic 3D materials collection we stock. Contact us with any questions.
Tectonic3D VULCAN PEKK-A Flame Retardant Filament (2.85mm)
Tectonic VULCAN PEKK-A filament is a high performance amorphous polyetherketoneketone designed for engineers who need parts that hold up under heat, chemical exposure, and strict fire safety requirements. This 2.85mm filament combines flame retardant certification with dependable thermal resistance, so it fits demanding industrial, transportation, and aerospace projects where standard polymers fall short.
Because VULCAN PEKK-A is an amorphous polymer, it prints with more predictable dimensional behavior than semi crystalline high temperature materials. As a result, engineers gain a workable path to functional PEKK parts on the UltiMaker Factor 4, and they can move from prototype to end use component with confidence using validated Cura Marketplace print profiles.
Key Features
- Flame retardant rated V0 at 0.8mm under UL testing
- Approved to EN45545 R1 HL2 and FAR 25.853 flammability standards
- High melting temperature of 305°C and glass transition of 158°C
- Tensile strength up to 100 MPa and flexural modulus up to 3020 MPa
- Strong chemical resistance for harsh service environments
Applications
Thanks to its flame retardant rating and thermal stability, VULCAN PEKK-A suits parts that face heat and fire safety rules. Common uses include rail and transit components, aircraft interior parts, industrial brackets, and functional prototypes that must match production grade performance.
- Rail and mass transit components under EN45545
- Aircraft interior parts under FAR 25.853
- Industrial jigs, fixtures, and functional brackets
- Chemically exposed parts and demanding end use components

Printing Guidelines and Additional Information
For best results, dry the filament at 120°C for 4 to 8 hours before printing. Set the nozzle temperature near 380°C, the bed near 160°C, and the chamber near 150°C, then adjust within the recommended ranges for your printer. A textured PEI sheet, glass, or carbon fiber plate works well, and Magigoo HT helps promote adhesion. Use a nozzle of 0.4mm or larger and start printing around 30 mm/s. Validated print profiles for the UltiMaker Factor 4 are available through the Cura Marketplace, which reduces calibration effort.
