Clariant, a global leader in specialty chemicals, will showcase its professional 3D printing materials and customized material solutions at the 2018 Formnext 2018.
With its extensive polymer knowledge, advanced additives, masterbatches and pigments and a professional 3D printing team, Clariant can help product innovators and manufacturers to extend 3D printing technology to end-product applications.
During formnext 2018, Clariant's main 3D printing supplies and solutions include:
Flame retardant and glass fiber reinforced polyamide series products can realize the production of small batches of functional parts, and are suitable for transportation, electrical and electronic fields. By using Exolit® flame retardant, glass fiber, light stabilizer, etc., Clariant flame retardant and glass fiber reinforced PA6 3D printing consumables can meet the requirements of industrial grade materials, including UL94 V-0.
Anti-static high impact strength consumables provide excellent protection against production auxiliary tools. Based on PET-G, PC ABS, and Polycarbonate (PC) as raw materials, combined with conductive additives, Clariant's anti-static consumables provide better choices for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to print custom tooling fixtures and durable printed products. Reliable and will not harm its manufacturing parts due to static shock.
Provide consumable colorants and additive solutions for customers' application needs. Clariant will showcase its various industrial-grade materials in the blue-green ‘ἀταραξία von has fidanken’ in the ColorForward® ’s annual color trend guide released by the ColorWorks® Color Research Center in 2019 to fully demonstrate its superior color matching capabilities. ‘Ἀταραξία von has fidanken’ is Greek, meaning calm or calm. At the same time, Clariant selects the right additives to ensure excellent performance in material properties.
Joanna Marguier, senior R & D manager of Clariant's 3D printing business unit, said: "OEMs hope that the performance of 3D printing materials can be comparable to injection molding materials. This is an important factor for our materials to be accepted and used in the production of end products. It will also be the market development in the future. From the beginning of our 3D printing business, Clariant has focused on providing high-quality 3D printing materials to meet the needs of specific applications. We work closely with our customers to tailor solutions to meet their needs. "
Joanna Marguier will introduce Clariant's 3D printing consumables in flame retardant performance at the TCT introducing stage at the formnext show on November 15.
