ThermaX™ PEEK 3D Filament

ThermaX™ PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is one of the highest-performance polymers in world.  PEEK has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties making it a go-to material in some of the most demanding applications.

Product Attributes Include:

• Glass Transition Temp (Tg) of 143°C
• Melt Temp (Tm) of 343°C
• Inherent flame resistance (UL94 V-0)
• Outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance
• Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) of 260°C, higher for short duration
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as those used in the oil/gas, automotive, aerospace, industrial, and chemical processing industries

Filament Specifications:

• Diameter: 1.75mm (+/- 0.05mm)
• Colors: Natural/Tan
• Larger reel quantities available upon request

Recommended Print Conditions:

• Extruder Temp: 375 - 410°C
• Bed Temp: 130 - 145°C
