ThermaX TPI is made using Sabic’s Extem™ Thermoplastic Polyimide (TPI) resin. This resin has been formulated specifically for FFF/FDM additive manufacturing. ThermaX TPI boasts exceptional thermal properties with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 247C and an HDT of 230C. This material has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties and is suitable for the most demanding applications in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, and industrial markets.
What is TPI? One way to think about our ThermaX TPI [Thermoplastic Polyimide] is to consider it a higher-heat version of the venerable Ultem 1010 PEI (Polyether Imide). Both TPI and PEI are amorphous thermoplastic polyimides and offer excellent high-heat resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. Where ThermaX™ TPI shines is that it offers superior mechanical properties in applications that are exposed to temperatures above 170C and up to 230C (up to 50% higher strength than Ultem 1010 at these elevated temperatures). ThermaX TPI must be considered a top contender when you need the best performance in the most challenging applications. Our Gearbox HT2 printer [HERE] is the ideal platform for printing ThermaX TPI and other ultra-polymers.
Exceptional thermal properties: Tg = 247C, HDT 237C
Up to 50% stronger than Ultem 1010 at temps above 170°C [170-230C]
Superior chemical resistance [auto & aircraft fluids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, chlorinated solvents]
Inherently flame retardant without the use of halogenated additives
Amorphous polymer with excellent dimensional stability over a wide range of temperatures
Lower cost than other ultra-polymers such as PEEK and PEKK
Packed with your favorite products, detailed information, and essential technical data. Whether your brand new to 3-D printing or need to find a specific filament that best fits your project, our catalog has everything you need in one easy-to-navigate place!
Explore key attributes like tensile strength, flexural strength, glass transition, and fire testing performance. Whether you're prototyping, creating functional parts, or printing detailed models, these property graphs will help you find the perfect filament for your project.
