tough-65-black.

Save on Tooling Costs and Time with Direct Production Plastic Parts

Figure 4 Tough 65C Black is a versatile production-grade black material with good impact strength, elongation, and tensile strength. It provides long-term environmental stability with an injection molded-like surface quality. This material is recommended for high mechanical load-bearing batch production parts, jigs and fixtures, and prototypes that remain stable for years.

This resin features a 70˚C heat deflection temperature and 35% elongation at break and is excellent for buckles, snaps, and clips due to a 6.6% elongation at yield. Simplified post-processing speeds enable high end-to-end throughput.

Figure 4 Tough 65C Black is tested to 8 years of indoor and 1.5 years outdoor mechanical performance per ASTM D4329 and ASTM G194 methods, ensuring that printed parts remain functional and stable for long periods in real-world conditions.

Applications

• Load-bearing parts such as handles, cranks, knobs, and levers Structural parts like brackets, snap-fits, and custom fasteners

• Small parts requiring detail and accuracy for consumer products, sporting goods, and general use 

• Latching and board connectors for data devices and white goods 

• Sensor holders and guides

Benefits

• Long-term use parts for indoor and outdoor applications

• High elongation at yield for ABS-like snaps, buckles, and clips. 

• Excellent surface quality, accuracy, repeatability 

• Fast throughput to finished part; no secondary thermal cure required
