EPX 150

6min

Overview

EPX 150 is an engineering-grade material with excellent chemical and creep resistance, comparable to high-performance thermoplastics like PEEK and PSU. With a heat deflection temperature of 155°C, it is ideal for producing precise parts with fine features. It enables high-temperature, chemical-resistant applications such as sealed electrical connectors, fluid spray nozzles, and reusable medical devices.

Design

  • Round or fillet corners to reduce potential for cracking.
  • Long, thin geometries are more prone to warping.

Washing

Long or complex internal cavities should be cleared with compressed air after washing.

Curing

  • Thick walled (>7.5 mm) parts are prone to crack at sharp corners, where stresses are concentrated.
    • Inert baking greatly lowers the potential for cracking.
  • For inert baking, see Inert Baking to download the baking profile for EPX 150.
  • For standard baking, see Thermal Curing for more information.
