Quick3D 3DXTECH ThermaX PEKK-A
ThermaX · PEKK filament for FFF
Overview
A PEKK filament made with Arkema Kepstan resin, a PAEK-family polymer with very good resistance to mechanical, thermal and chemical stress. It is notably easier to print than PEEK and among the simplest ultra-polymers to process.

Characteristics
- High tempHeat deflection temperature of 100 °C or more — keeps its shape in hot environments.
- Flame retardantUL 94 rating of V-0, V-1 or V-2 — stops burning on its own once the flame is removed.
Certifications
- UL 94 V-0Flammability rating from the UL 94 test. V-0 is the highest common rating: the flame goes out within 10 seconds with no burning drips.
As stated by 3DXTECH. Ask us for the certificate if you need it for an audit.
