Press Release

Leuven, Belgium – Materialise is proud to announce the official launch of a new heat-resistant material for 3D printing: Ultem^TM 9085 Black. With its advanced long-term heat and flame resistance, Ultem^TM 9085 Black provides a new option in durable Fusion Deposition Modeling materials to industries such as automotive and aerospace manufacturing where parts need to withstand prolonged heat exposure.

A major challenge of engineering parts manufacturing is the ability to develop pieces that are able to withstand long-term exposure to elevated temperatures with low ignition risk. To fill this need, Materialise offers manufacturing applications using Ultem^TM 9085, a pioneering thermoplastic for 3D Printing with physical and mechanical properties that allow it to remain strong and stable under extreme operating conditions.

Now available in tan and black, Ultem^TM 9085 features include:

• UL 94-V0 certified
• Glass transition temperature of 186°C
• High LOI (limiting oxygen index), making it exceptionally difficult to ignite
• Limited smoke production
• Low-toxicity combustion products
• Flexural strength of 115 mPa

To compare the material's properties against ABS and PC under these tough conditions, watch the video:
