HIGH TEMPERATURE PLASTICS
Across a broad range of industries and applications, ETEC’s high temperature plastics feature best-in-class strength and durability.
So whether you’re looking to print injection molds and wind tunnel models, or mass-produce aerospace connectors, electronic housings, ducts, or underhood components – ETEC has you and your applications covered!
E-Perform
Strong and stiff material with high heat tolerance
E-Perform is a high stiffness and high heat tolerance material ideal for producing 3D printed injection molds. Printed E-Perform molds are capable of resisting wear from highly abrasive materials, such as fiber filled plastics. It is also ideal for end use parts that require steady performance in high pressure and harsh environments, such as parts for wind tunnel testing.

| Tensile Strength | 56 MPa |
| Tensile Modulus | 3350 MPa |
| Elongation at Break | 3.5% |
| Heat Deflection Temperature | at 0.455 MPa 140°C |
LOCTITE 3955 HDT280 FST
High-performance, flame-retardant material, ideal for the most demanding applications, including aerospace
LOCTITE® 3955™ is a halogen free, high performance, high modulus material with excellent flexural and tensile physical properties.The material passes UL94 flammability V-0 and FST (AirBus AITM2-0002, AITM2-0007, AITM3-0005) and its high HDT allows it to withstand harsh environments with negligible deformation. Parts printed with 3955 showcase an outstanding surface finish making it ideal for interior components for the aerospace and rail industries.
