High Temp Resin
Provides a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 238 °C @ 0.45 MPa. Ideal for hot air, gas, and fluid flow applications, as well as, heat resistant mounts, housings, and fixtures.
Grey Pro Resin
Suitable for high precision concept models. Moderate elongation and other material properties make it ideal for cyclic loading and repetitive motion applications. Also appropriate for form and fit testing, injection molded products, mold masters, jigs, and fixtures.
