ThermaX PPE-PS is a polyphenylene ether alloy which exhibits exceptional thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance properties. Our PPE-PS filament is made from a UL94 V0 rated flame retardant base resin. ThermaX PPE has been an ideal material for a wide array of applications in demanding markets such as aerospace, automotive, industrial, electronics, and telecommunications.
Benefits of ThermaX PPE+PS :
- High thermal properties with an HDT of 120C
- Flame retardant rated UL94 V-0
- UV resistance making it suitable for outdoor applications, rated F1 per UL 746C
- Amorphous structure granting it very low, near isotropic shrinkage
- Excellent chemical resistance to most aqueous solutions, detergents, acids, and bases
- Excellent long-term hydrolytic stability making it very stable in boiling water
- Very low moisture absorption
- Stable dielectric constant and dissipation factor over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies

Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
