What Ultem 9085?

ULTEM™ 9085 resin is a flame-retardant, high-performance thermoplastic. It features a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent heat resistance and high impact strength. It also possesses favorable flame, smoke and toxicity (FST) characteristics. Certified for high performance.

What material is Ultem?

polyetherimide
Ultem® (polyetherimide) is a semi-transparent high strength plastic material that can operate in high service temperature environments. Ultem® is resistant to hot water and steam and can withstand repeated cycles in a steam autoclave.

Is Ultem fungus resistant?

This unique material’s preexisting certifications make it an excellent choice for the commercial transportation industry – especially aerospace, marine and ground vehicles….FDM___ULTEM_9085.

Outgassing
Fungus Resistance (Method 508.6) MIL-STD-810G Passed

What is ASA filament?

ASA filament (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is the perfect all-purpose 3D printing thermoplastic, suitable for many different applications. It has a similar chemical makeup to ABS plastic but offers three improvements: better mechanical properties, superior aesthetics and it’s UV resistant.

Can peek be 3D printed?

PEEK is a demanding 3D printing material To print 3D print PEEK, you will therefore need a 3D printer with an extruder that can reach 400°C, a chamber heated of 120°C, and a build plate that can heat to 230°C to remove the part and avoid warping.

What is the density of Ultem?

The most commonly referenced density for Ultem 1010 is 1.59 g/cm³ but there are other densities available as well such as 1.65g/cm³ or 2g/cm³ depending on the application needs of the material being manufactured or produced with this resin (i).

How much does Ultem cost?

Prices for ULTEM 3D printing filament start at around $250/kg. Sabic’s ULTEM 9085 filament, one popular variety, costs $350/kg.

Can Ultem be injection molded?

This premium quality plastic material is resistant to hot water and steam and can withstand repeated cycles in a steam autoclave. Ultem™ molding is a less expensive alternative to high-end PEEK plastic material. Ultem™ is a highly-effective injection molding plastic.

Is ASA better than PETG?

If you want to avoid the printing odor and still a bit more hassle during printing but need the ductility and more toughness, PETG is a nice alternative to PLA. ASA especially shines at higher temperatures and demanding applications but at least without a special setup suffers in terms of layer adhesion.
