Storage & Handling
- MATERIAL HANDLING AND DRYING
Essentium HTN is a slightly hygroscopic thermoplastic and will absorb moisture from humid air. Keep the material in the vacuum sealed packaging until you are ready to print with it. HTN filament should always be fed to the printer in a dry container and stored in a dry cabinet. If the material does absorb more than 400ppm moisture, it should be dried in a low dew point (< -40˚C) oven or vacuum oven at 130˚C for 6 – 8 hours.
