3Dresyn PEEK-like has these features and benefits:
- similar properties to Polyetheretherketone PEEK but relatively slighlty lower mechanical and thermal strength but superior appearance, hydrophobicity, water, chemical resistance and cost effectiveness vs conventional PEEK
- Monomer Free MF for increased biocompatibility
- choose LV version for a relatively Low Viscosity version <6000 cps at 25ºC for printing without heated printers or below 20ºC
- choose HV version for a relatively High Viscosity version <8000 cps at 25ºc for printing with heated printers or above 20ºC, for overall improved durability and mechanical properties
- HV version is recommended due to its superior mechanical strength since it can be printed even without any heater if the room temperature is above 20ºC
- clear light orange finishing unless your chosen color is added online
- add radio opaque functionality by selecting 3D-ADD ROC1 as optional functionality in the optional functionality menu above
- Tensile strength >60 MPa
- ultra high flexural strength at break 120-140 MPa
- ultra tough and rigid (Young modulus 2000-3000 MPa)
- high impact, wear, shattering and fracture resistance (Notched Izod >30 J/m)
- 100% biocompatible, implantable and food grade
- ideal for engineering applications where high toughness and rigidity are required
- ideal for printing frames for dentures bases
- improved chemical resistance vs conventional PEEK
- excellent temperature resistance
- excellent resistance to boiling water and sterilisation
