Primary Applications

 

Compliant Mechanisms & Hinges:

With an elongation at break of 180% and a flex fatigue rating of >100,000 cycles, it is ideal for living hinges, clips, and snap-fits that must flex repeatedly.

 

High-Impact Jigs & Fixtures:

Use this for manufacturing aids on the factory floor that need to survive accidental drops, heavy impacts, or repetitive stress without shattering.

 

Low-Friction Assemblies:

Its lubricity is comparable to Delrin (POM), making it excellent for sliding surfaces, gears, and ball joints where you want to minimize abrasion and wear.

 

Squeezable Prototypes:

Because it can deform and return to its original shape, it is often used to prototype squeezable bottles, grips, and flexible enclosures.

 

End-Use Ductile Parts:

Improved resistance to aging, creep, and temperature fluctuations (compared to the older "Durable Resin") makes it suitable for small-batch functional parts
