Glass Transition Temperature: Glass transition temperature is the point at which an amorphous polymer becomes hard and brittle. However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC). The metal used for FFF dies depends on the polymer: unfilled materials can use softer brass dies, while fiber-reinforced materials need harder steel to prevent premature wear.

The proprietary, multi-layer carbon fiber and ceramic composite technology applies the concept of thermal inertia to expedite heat transfer from the barrel bore to improve overall performance. The ceramic and carbon fiber composite layers are applied in a proprietary process, and finished barrels are returned to the firearms manufacturer for incorporation into the final product. Firearms manufacturer- supplied steel bore Low thermal inertia ceramic inner layer Customized carbon fiber composite sleeve
