The all-new EPX 150 thermoplastic is one of Carbon\u2019s most advanced high-performance 3D printing materials yet. Essentially an updated formulation of the popular EPX 82 material, EPX 150 now offers substantially upgraded chemical resistance and even better high-temperature stability.<\/p>\n

Exceptional Chemical Resistance and Heat Resistance Combined with Functional Toughness<\/h2>\n

An engineering grade plastic, EPX 150 provides outstanding chemical resistance in combination with creep resistance. It also provides great high-temperature stability with a heat deflection temperature of 155\u00b0C. This makes the material suitable for an extremely wide range of additive manufacturing markets \u2013 from medical products<\/a> that require repeated sterilization to 3D printed automotive parts<\/a> that require high precision and repeatability.<\/p>\n

Offering comparable mechanical properties to high-performance thermoplastics like PEEK and PSU, EPX 150 can easily accommodate complex part features and precision tolerances. Furthermore, the material\u2019s chemical resistance and thermal stability make it perfect for manufacturing many specialized industrial products \u2013 everything from industrial spray nozzles to custom electrical connectors for harsh environments.<\/p>\n

Comparable 3D Printing Materials:<\/h3>\n

EPX 150 offers a unique combination of performance attributes, mechanical properties, and manufacturability. However, it can be compared or considered alongside various other common high-performance thermoplastic materials, including:\u00a0<\/p>\n
