Product catalog summary
Product Overview: FLEX is a fine powder based on polyurethane resin, designed for use in rapid prototyping systems such as laser sintering (SLS, LS) and radiation (IRS, MJF). It is used to produce models and functional parts with elastomeric properties, offering a long life cycle.
Material Properties: The material is an elastomer with a Shore A hardness of 65-85, adjustable based on energy input. It offers high resolution and excellent operating costs due to its refresh rate. The powder is easy to process and does not produce smoke.
Applications: FLEX is suitable for shock absorption applications, elastic parts in various sectors, industrial applications, insoles, shoes, luxury items, design, and automotive components.
Chemical and Physical Properties: FLEX is a polyurethane blend with additives and stabilizers, appearing as a solid powder in a natural white to cream color. It has an average particle size of 55-75 µm and a packed density of >0.4 g/cm³. The part density is 1.12 ± 0.05 g/cm³.
Mechanical Properties: The material exhibits a Young's modulus of 60-90 MPa, tensile strength of 7 ± 1 MPa (XY) and 5 ± 1 MPa (Z), and elongation at break of >350% (XY) and 200-300% (Z). It has a Charpy impact strength with no break under dry/condensed conditions.
Thermal Properties: The melting point is between 100-120°C, with a process temperature of -11 ± 2°C. The material is classified under UL-94 for flammability, with specific tests for vertical and horizontal orientations.
Chemical Resistance: FLEX is insoluble in water but soluble in mineral acids and phenols. It has good chemical resistance but can be attacked by acids.
Electrical Properties: Volume resistivity and surface resistivity are measured according to CEI 93 standards, though specific values are not provided.
Safety and Handling: The material can form explosive mixtures in air at concentrations of 30-60 g/m³. It should be handled with care to prevent exposure to open flames, sparks, and static discharge.
