3DXTech ThermaX PEI 9085 Natural 500g

ThermaX™ PEI 9085 is a premium filament made using ULTEM™ 9085 resin from Sabic. This resin is FAA-approved for FST applications (Flame/Smoke/Toxicity) and meets FAR 25.853 and OSU 65/65 standards.

Basic Attributes

• High thermal properties, with a Tg of 186°C
• Inherently flame-resistant with low smoke evolution and low smoke toxicity
• 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
• Stable dielectric constant and dissipation factor over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies

Printing Setup

• Extruder: 350-380°C
• Bed Temp: 140-160°C
• Other: No cooling fan with print speeds of 16 mm/s as a starting point
• Heated Chamber: Recommended, a chamber helps reduce warping and improves layer adhesion
• Drying Instructions: 120°C for 4 hours.

Annealing 3D Printed Parts

If needed, parts printed using ULTEM™ may be annealed in a hot-air oven to reduce any printed-in stresses which may be present in the part. Printed-in stresses may occur in any plastic and may result in lower than expected mechanical properties. If this is an issue with your part, you can follow the simple 5-step ramp up/down process for annealing the ULTEM™ parts.

1. Place printed parts in cool, room-temp oven.
2. Set temp to 300°F and allow to stabilize for 1 hour.
3. After 1 hour at 300°F, increase oven temp to 400°F and allow to stabilize 1 additional hour.
4. After 1 hour at 400°F, reduce heat back to 300°F and allow to stabilize for 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes, turn off oven heat and allow printed parts to return to room temp inside the oven as it cools.
