Products in 3D Printing Polymers: Extrusion

SABIC's Specialties Business ULTEM™ Resin 9085 is a polyetherimide blend that is specifically formulated for use in aerospace cabin interiors, as well as in rail applications and for FDM printing. It complies with aerospace FAR25.853 and OSU55/55 heat release requirements and has been approved by major aerospace OEMs. With a rail EN45545 R6-HL3 rating, this material offers excellent flow, stiffness, and ductility balance, allowing for thin-walled, lightweight designs. ULTEM™ Resin 9085 is opaque and can be custom colored to meet specific design requirements. This product does not contain PFAS intentionally added during SHPP’s manufacturing process and are not expected to contain unintentional PFAS impurities. Each user is responsible for evaluating the presence of unintentional PFAS impurities.

MOCOM Compounds ALCOM® 3D TCE PC 5020 16116 is a polycarbonate-based polymer with 20% special filler that has increased thermal conductivity, is antistatic, and is heat stabilized. It is used in the Lighting, electrical and electronic market segment and is applicable for Extrusion of 3D printable FDM filaments for functional components. Processing Injection molding Filament extrusion melt temperature should be 250-270°C, and recommendations for 3D printing depending on printer type are nozzle temperature of 300-320°C, bed temperature of 80-120°C, and print speed of 10-60 mm/s.

Floreon Dura Tech Durable Grade is a PLA based compound intended for durable applications requiring high impact resistance, whilst also retaining a high renewable content which can be certified to recognized criteria. The material is recyclable and is not intended for applications that are compostable.

Floreon Therma Tech Flame Retarded Grade is a PLA based compound intended for durable applications requiring flame retardancy. This developmental grade contains a flame retardant, impact modifier, nucleating agent. The material is based on PLA and is designed as a drop in replacement for ABS in injection molding, extrusion and 3D printing. Drying of the material is recommended to ensure melt stability and limit degradation of the material during processing.

Z-PEEK is one of the strongest polymers on the planet. It has strength-to-weight ratio comparable to stainless steel and exceptional thermal properties. The material can withstand thermal-cycling in vacuum chambers used for space-qualification tests, radiation, or wear in over 22 million cycles in PEEK-steel gear pairs working at 1600 rpm.

BigRep HI-TEMP CF is a filament compound combining the world of sustainable bioplastics with the performance of high-tech carbon fiber technology. It is lightweight, resistant to high temperatures and can be used to create superior stiff and stable parts, including UV resistance. It is highly suited for applications in motorsports, aerospace, sporting goods and medical. As well as applications in molding and forming technology.
