These are made using Essenitum’s in house MLF technology to capture CNT’s only in the top coating for best-in-class performance. We use a range of conductive fillers including carbon nanotubes, carbon fiber, and inherently dissipative polymers to impart electrical conductivity into the base polymer. Highlights Conductivity can be tuned from 1E4-1E11. Non-marking, non sloughing. Antistats (AS) can be made in colors. Comparison Chart HTN-Z PCTG-Z TPU 95A-Z TPU 8OA-Z TPU 74D-Z TPU 58D-AS Essentium HTN-Z (high-temperature nylon) is the ESD-safe version in our HTN line of materials. This material is designed for use in medium-duty electronics manufacturing. The HTN line has improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to standard nylons. Additionally, it is an easy-to-print, low-warp material that boasts high toughness and wear resistance. This material is a drop-in replacement for ESD-safe Acetal (Delrin®) and has best-in-class slow moisture absorption.APPLICATIONSFire and explosion safetyAssembly aids for electronicsESD-safe fixturesElectrical housingPart trays for electronics manufacturingView DetailsPCTG-Z is specially formulated to be ESD safe.

During that age of Additive 1.0, manufacturers learned that they could skip the lengthy lead times and costly tool changes during initial iterations and accepted it despite its limitations. Additive 2.0 introduced rapid prototyping where manufacturers can use technology like the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printer to reduce the time to prototype to a few hours instead of days and instead of iterating with ABS or PA, they can design with the end-use material. Find Out More ToolingTraditional manufacturing methods are driven by CNC machines and injection molding machines, both of which require tools to be made, iterated, manufactured, and shipped. This entire process can take months, even with the best suppliers on the planet. With the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printing Platform, skip over the lead time and tooling costs, and create highly accurate molds, that can be tweaked on the fly. These 3D-printed tools can be printed in a matter of days at a fraction of the cost of traditional tooling and casting methods. Find Out More CastingAvoid the high cost and long lead times of traditional tool creation and print molds on the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printing Platform. Manufacturers can create prototypes, iterate designs, and print the final part on the same platform and materials which saves time and increases quality.
