3DXTECH produces this 3D printing filament using a specialty compound custom-formulated using ULTEM™ 9085 resin and advanced carbon nanotube additives. ULTEM™ PEI is an amorphous, high-performance polymer that combines excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties. Target surface resistance: 10⁴-10⁹ Ohm
Our PEI-based filaments offer the ability to create parts with excellent properties at elevated temperatures due to a very high glass transition temperature (Tg). Ideal for use in critical applications which require electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, a high level of cleanliness, and the outstanding thermal and chemical properties you’ve come to expect with PEI based compounds.
Benefits of 3DXSTAT ESD-PEI 9085
- High thermal properties
- Inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing
- Long-term hydrolytic stability
- Excellent dimensional stability, low heat creep sensitivity, and a very low, uniform coefficient of thermal expansion create highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions
- Exceptional strength and modulus, even at elevated temperatures
- Good resistance to a broad range of chemicals, include automotive fluids, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
Print Recommendations
Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
