About SilicaFusion Carbon
4D Filtration SilicaFusion combines our acid-free activated carbon with granular and color-indicating silica gel. This blend offers localized moisture control, enhancing both the effectiveness and lifespan of the carbon, while also protecting filament.
When To Use SilicaFusion Carbon:
SilicaFusion Carbon is particularly useful when printing filament that is sensitive to moisture, as it lowers the humidity level inside an enclosure.
SilicaFusion Carbon also improves the lifespan and effectiveness of the activated carbon by capturing moisture and depositing it in the silica gel, since the silica gel holds more moisture per unit weight.
How To Use SilicaFusion Carbon:
For optimal results, use SilicaFusion Carbon only in recirculating setups. If used for extraction the silica gel will rapidly become saturated with moisture.
SilicaFusion Filament Recommendations:
SilicaFusion Carbon is recommended for use with hygroscopic filament such as: Nylon, PVA, TPU, and PC. SilicaFusion is also useful for keeping moisture away from more common filament like PLA, PETG, and ABS as moisture can cause print defects.
