DETECT

Product catalog summary

Chemical Nature and Physical Properties:
The document describes a composite polyamide 11 formulation known as DETECT, which is a solid powder with a blue coloration. It contains additives and is designed for use in powder bed systems by laser sintering. The average particle size is between 45 and 65 µm, with a packed density of less than 0.6 g/cm³ and a part density of less than 1.1 g/cm³. Moisture absorption at 23°C over 24 hours is greater than 1.12%.

Mechanical Properties:
The material exhibits a Young Modulus of 1800 MPa and a flexural modulus greater than 1500 MPa. Tensile strength averages are 38 MPa in the XY direction and 30 MPa in the Z direction. Elongation at break is 7.5% in the XY direction and greater than 4% in the Z direction. These properties are subject to variation based on tensile bar positioning and system exposure parameters.

Applications and Compliance:
DETECT is suitable for the food, pharmaceutical, medical instrumentation, packaging, and safety equipment industries. It is compliant with EU N° 10/2011 and FDA CFR 21 for food contact, as well as GMP standards. The material is metal detectable, magnetizable, and bio-sourced.

Thermal and Chemical Properties:
The melting point ranges from 190 to 202°C, with a decomposition temperature above 350°C. The material is insoluble in water but soluble in mineral acids and phenols. It has good chemical resistance to alkaline substances, hydrocarbons, oils, and solvents but is attacked by acids.

Electrical and Surface Properties:
The document notes volume resistivity and surface resistivity as per CEI 93 standards, though specific values are not provided. The surface finish is described with a Shore D hardness and specific surface roughness measurements.

Explosive Properties:
The material can form explosive dust mixtures in air, with a Kst value of 200-250 m.bar/s, classified as St2. The explosive limits in air range from 30 to 60 g/m³.
