Durast Polyplastics has introduced a family of powdered engineering resins. The company is targeting Durast resins at low-volume production of complex parts via sinter forming, compression molding and 3D printing using selective laser sintering technology.
What’s new? A fine powder form with particle sizes ranging from 10 to 200 microns. Until now, Polyplastics’ product lineup has mainly consisted of pelletized engineering plastics for injection molding and extrusion. It added the Durast materials in response to customer demand for engineering resins for applications that are incompatible with pellets. The line consists of polyacetal (POM), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polybutylene terephthalate and liquid crystal polymer (LCP) grades.
Benefits More applications for high-performance engineering resins. The materials’ compatibility with various manufacturing methods enables improvements to the properties of fina. products, such as porous objects made by sintering solid materials produced via compression molding.
