ThermaX PEEK 3D Filament

ThermaX PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is one of the highest-performance polymers in world. Our PEEK filament is made using a proprietary processing technique that allows for lower extrusion temperatures than other PEEK filaments on the market and is therefore easier to print with.

PEEK has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties making it a go-to material in some of the most demanding applications. The Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family of thermoplastics exhibit exceptional thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties. The PAEK family includes the following polymers:

• Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
• Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK
• Polyetherketone (PEK)
• Polyetherketoneetherketoneketone (PEKEKK)

Product Attributes Include:

• Glass Transition Temp (Tg) of 143°C
• Melt Temp (Tm) of 343°C
• Inherent flame resistance (UL94 V-0)
• Outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance
• Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) of 260°C, higher for short duration
• Excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, such as those used in the oil/gas, automotive, aerospace, industrial, and chemical processing industries

Filament Specifications:

• Diameter: 1.75mm (+/- 0.05mm)
• Colours: Natural/Tan
• Larger reel quantities available upon request

Recommended Print Conditions:

• Extruder Temp: 375 – 410°C
• Bed Temp: 130 – 145°C
• Bed Prep: Ultem Tape is the ideal build surface, glue stick on clean glass is suitable
• Enclosure temp (if your printer is equipped): 70 – 140°C [hotter is better, up to 140°C]
• Print Speed: 10-50 mm/s for 0.2mm layer height, fast as results dictate

Recommended Printing Experience

Novice: A beginner using an entry-level 3D printer should have minimal problems using this material
Intermediate: User has several months of experience with a moderate to high quality printer
Advanced: User has > 1 year of printing experience and is using a high quality commercial printer
Expert: User has significant amount of experience and is using a high-performance or heavily modified printer

These categories are somewhat arbitrary, but come from many years of our own printing experience as well as troubleshooting with customers.
