White plastic for long-term use parts with a good combination of impact strength, elongation, and tensile strength

SAVE ON TOOLING COSTS AND TIME WITH DIRECT PRODUCTION PLASTIC PARTS

Figure 4 ® Tough 60C White is a versatile, biocompatible-capable production-grade white material with good impact strength, elongation, and tensile strength. It provides long-term environmental stability and long-lasting white color with an injection molded-like surface quality. This material is recommended for high mechanical load-bearing batch production medical parts that remain functional and stable for years. This resin features a 65°C heat deflection temperature and 23% elongation at break, and is excellent for brackets, snaps, and clips due to a 7.1% elongation at yield. Fast print speeds and simplified post-processing speeds enable exceptional throughput.
