3DXtech ThermaX TPI (Thermoplastic Polyimide) - 1.75mm - 500g

What is TPI?

One way to think about our ThermaX TPI [Thermoplastic Polyimide] is to consider it a higher-heat version of the venerable Ultem 1010 PEI (Polyether Imide). Both TPI and PEI are amorphous thermoplastic polyimides and offer excellent high-heat resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. Where ThermaX™ TPI shines is that it offers superior mechanical properties in applications that are exposed to temperatures above 170C and up to 230C (up to 50% higher strength than Ultem 1010 at these elevated temperatures). ThermaX TPI must be considered a top contender when you need the best performance in the most challenging applications.

Benefits of ThermaX TPI

• Exceptional thermal properties: Tg = 247C, HDT 237C
• Up to 50% stronger than Ultem 1010 at temps above 170°C [170-230C]
• Superior chemical resistance [auto & aircraft fluids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, chlorinated solvents]
• Inherently flame retardant without the use of halogenated additives
• Amorphous polymer with excellent dimensional stability over a wide range of temperatures
• Lower cost than other ultra-polymers such as PEEK and PEKK
