• Shore 95A semi-flex hardness

• Ease of printing compared to similar flexible materials

• Excellent layer bonding

• Outstanding fatigue resistance

• Very low odor while printing

• Low moisture absorption

• Retains flexibility even at low temperatures

• Styrene and BPA free

Typical ESD Flex Applications Include:

• Semi-con: HDD Components, Wafer Handling, Jigs, Casings, & Connectors

• Industrial: Conveying, Metering, and Sensing Applications

Surface Conductivity as a Function of Extruder Temperature:

The surface resistance of the printed ESD Flex part will vary depending on the printer’s extruder temperature. For example, if your testing indicates the part is too insulative, then increasing the extruder temperature will result in improved conductivity. Therefore, the surface resistance can be ‘dialed-in’ by adjusting the extruder temperature up or down depending on the reading you receive on your part.
