Nanovia PC-ABS Rail : EN 45545-2

Nanovia PC-ABS Rail is an FFF filament made using UL V0 and NF EN 45545-2 certified materials for the railroad sector, adhering to its strict flammability resistance, low smoke and toxic fumes factor. This ABS and polycarbonate composite has improved usage temperatures over ABS whilst printing similar. Nanovia PC-ABS Rail is useable up to 115 °C.

Norm NF EN 45545-2 was created In order to secure the transport of railway passengers and limit fire related risks during an incident. This is done by imposing certain critera regarding the non-flammability of material as well as the non-release of smoke and toxic fumes.

Easier to print than a native polycarbonate, Nanovia PC-ABS Rail is based on such a material and can be used to create secure components for enclosed spaces.

Examples: arm rests, hooks, storage racks, hinges, electrical enclosures etc…

Advantages

• Made using 45545-2:2013+A1:2015 certified material
• Very good fire resistance

Storage

• Store in airtight container with desiccant, out of direct sunlight.
• Dehydrate for 4h at 60°C prior to printing after prolonged exposure to humidity.

Post treatment

• For an outdoor usage, it’s recommended either paint or apply a protective UV coating, both polycabonate and ABS are sensitive to UV radiation, and might “yellow” or crack otherwise in the long term

Printing

• We recommend printing Nanovia PC-ABS Rail in a room equipped with air extraction or by using appropriate breathing equipment.

Post treatment

• Standard PPE recommended (dust mask, gloves)
