TPI+CF
TPI+CF is made using Sabic’s EXTEM™ Thermoplastic Polyimide (TPI) and 10% Toray T-800 Aerospace-grade carbon fiber. This ultra-polymer has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties and is an excellent alterative to higher cost materials such as PEEK and PEKK.
Typical applications
Extruder Temp
435-460°C
Bed Temp
180-220°C
Drying Specs
150°C for 4+ hours
Benefits
