New High Temp Material
October 12, 2021
Figure 4® High Temp 150°C FR Black is a rigid, flame-retardant black material that can be used for production parts requiring UL94 V0 rating as well as FAR 25.853 and 23.853 capability. It provides long-term environmental stability with an injection moulded-like surface quality.
This material is recommended for defence, aerospace, consumer, and transportation applications that require performance at high temperatures like brackets, covers, and circuit board housings and covers.
Figure 4 High Temp is tested to 8 years of indoor and 1.5 years of outdoor mechanical performance per ASTM D4329 and ASTM G194 methods, ensuring that printed parts remain functional and stable for long periods in real-world conditions.
