3DXTech ThermaX PEEK High-Performance Filament (1.75mm, 500g) - Made in USA
3DXTech ThermaX PEEK High-Performance Filament (1.75mm, 500g) - Made in USA
Step up to the absolute pinnacle of additive manufacturing. ThermaX PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is globally recognized as one of the highest-performance thermoplastic polymers ever chemically engineered. Serving as a premier choice for industrial aerospace, automotive, medical, and defense sectors, ThermaX PEEK delivers unparalleled mechanical strength, thermal stability, and deep chemical resistance for mission-critical parts where failure is simply not an option.
Uncompromising Thermal & Chemical Superiority
PEEK behaves as a highly advanced engineering material capable of completely replacing machined aluminum, steel, or brass components in extreme operational environments.
- Extreme Thermal Performance: Boasts a Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of 143°C, a Melting Temperature (Tm) of 343°C, and a Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) ranging from 240°C to 260°C.
- Inherent Flame Resistance: Naturally flame-retardant and self-extinguishing with exceptional low-smoke and low toxic gas emission profiles.
- Aggressive Chemical Immunity: Demonstrates flawless long-term structural resistance against automotive fluids, aqueous solutions, alcohols, and fully halogenated hydrocarbons.
- Hydrolytic Stability: Retains its raw mechanical attributes under constant moisture exposure and pressurized steam environments even above 250°C.
- Predictable Dimensional Stability: Engineered with a low, highly uniform Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) combined with ultra-low heat creep to guarantee repeatable part-to-part accuracy.
Precision Manufactured in the USA
All 3DXTech performance spools are produced under rigorous quality control standards within a state-of-the-art 68,000 sq. ft. manufacturing center based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Using medical and industrial-grade processes, 3DXTech provides high-purity, ultra-consistent filament lines targeted precisely at punishing, end-use industrial applications.
Advanced Print & Processing Guidelines
Due to its high crystalline nature and high melting point, ThermaX PEEK requires specialized industrial-grade 3D printer hardware:
- Extruder/Nozzle Temperature: 360°C – 400°C
- Heated Bed Temperature: 130°C – 140°C
- Enclosure/Chamber Temperature: A fully isolated actively heated chamber set to 70°C – 140°C is required to handle crystallization rates and eliminate layer splitting.
- Nozzle Requirements: An abrasion-resistant hardened steel or ruby tipped structural nozzle is highly recommended.
- Material Drying: Highly critical before use. Dry the spool in a high-temperature forced air oven or material dryer at 120°C for at least 4 hours prior to printing.
