Addigy® F2045 is a highly flexible TPC (thermoplastic copolyester, TPEE or TPE-E) used in electronics, sports and a wide range of other applications.

It is a flexible polymer with very good UV- and chemical-resistance compared to other flexible polymers such as TPU (thermoplastic urethane), reaching elongation at break of up to 390%. Addigy® has been developed based on knowledge about wires and cables and exhibits no buckling and a higher print speed than existing thermoplastic elastomers in the market.

Our product shows unbeaten layer-to-layer adhesion, compared to ABS, PLA, TPU used in the 3D printing market.

Key Benefits & Properties:

• Arnitel® offers a lighter, smarter, greener alternative to conventional rubbers – reducing environmental impact and ultimately, system costs
• Highly elastic material with ShoreD of 34
• High UV and chemical resistance compared to TPU
• Natural coloured filament passes ISO 10993-10 Irritation / Intracutaneous reactivity testing, ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity testing and USP class VI tests for medical implants
• Can be sterilized using the following methods:
  
  • Autoclave generally 121°C, 15 minutes
  • Another method for sterilisation is dipping in alcohol (>70%)
• Double print speed: 40 mm/s vs typical TPC print speed 20 mm/s
• Parts with smooth aesthetics possible
• 50% of the feedstock is bio-based
