Helios Support

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Helios Support is a high heat water-soluble PVA material designed for dual extrusion 3D printing. It is compatible with engineering materials that require higher printing temperatures and heated build chambers. The material can be printed at nozzle temperatures up to 250°C without cross-linking or clogging issues.
Specifications:
  • Diameter: 2.85mm with a tolerance of ≥ 95%± 0.05mm and 1.75mm with a tolerance of ≥ 95%± 0.10mm.
  • Specific Gravity: 1.19 g/cc (ISO 1183).
  • Melt Flow Rate: 58 g/10min at 260°C/5Kg (ISO 1133).
Certifications and Compliance:
  • REACH compliant.
  • RoHS certified.
Performance Characteristics:
  • Adheres well to styrene-based materials such as ABS, TitanX, Crystal Flex, ApolloX, Python Flex, and Volcano PLA.
  • Dissolves slower in water compared to normal PVA, but the process can be accelerated with warm and circulating water.

Helios Support-1

Technical Data SheetProduct name: Helios Support Helios Support is a "high heat" water-soluble PVA material which is engineered as support material for dual extrusion 3D printing in combination with engineering materials which require to be printed at higher temperatures and/or in heated build chambers. Helios support can be printed at nozzle temperatures up to 250° C without the risk of cross linking and nozzle clogging and adheres extremely well to styrene based materials such as ABS, TitanX, Crystal Flex, and ApolloX, but also to Python Flex and Volcano PLA. Helios Support dissolves slightly slower in water than normal PVA, but the dissolving process can be sped up when using warm and circulating water.
