DETAILS
Evonik is driving forward its commitment
in the attractive 3D printing market.
The specialty chemicals company has developed
a new polymer powder
for applications in higher temperature range
as part of its polyamide 6 series.
The product further expands
Evonik’s portfolio of high-performance materials
for powder-based 3D printing technologies.
Evonik’s new polyamide powder
features high mechanical strength as well as
excellent chemical and temperature resistance.
Its heat deflection temperature (HDT B) is around 195°C.
Moreover, the powder material stands out
for its low water absorption – below 3 percent —,
which has a positive effect on processability
in 3D printing and
the dimensional stability of printed 3D components.
Innovative materials for series production
Mark Zhao,
founder and CEO of TPM 3D Chinese technology company
for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
“New, ready-to-use materials that are optimally adapted to
the individual printer and expand the range of application
to higher temperatures move the 3D printing industry
one step further toward series production,”
“We are seeing strong demand for 3D solutions
in the higher temperature range – for example
in the automotive and electronics industries.
That’s why we were pleased to launch
the new temperature-stable material together with Evonik.”
The new polymer powder in
Evonik's polyamide 6 series
with its nearly round grain shape
stands out for excellent flowability and application properties,
making it suitable for
all powder-based 3D printing technologies.
A proprietary procedure of Evonik is employed
to produce the high-temperature material
at the company’s Marl site.
Over 20 years of material expertise
The 3D printing market is booming,
posting double-digit growth rates.
Evonik is a world leader in the production of
polyamide 12 powders (PA 12), which have been used
in additive manufacturing technologies for over 20 years.
In addition to PEEK filament and PA 12 powders,
the company's product portfolio includes
flexible PEBA powders as well as a full range of additives
such as dispersion agents, flow improvers
or reactive modifiers.
