Technical Datasheet

Comparable Thermoplastics

High-Performance (PEEK, PEI, PSU, PSSU)

BIOCOMPATIBLE

Carbon has performed biocompatibility testing with documentation to support the material passing ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity.

UV AGING RESISTANT

CE 221 exhibits very low natural polymer aging in the presence of UV over hundreds of hours.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

CE 221 exhibits very low mass gain with most household chemicals, industrial fluids, and strong acid, alcohols, and bases.

Example Applications

These applications combine a need for strength, stiffness, and high temperature resistance, in addition to isotropy, great surface finish, and accuracy.

FLUID MANIFOLDS

Fluid and gas manifolds require strength, stiffness, temperature resistance, in addition to isotropy, smooth finish, and ability to print fine features.

COMPRESSOR SCREWS

Compressor screws require strength, stiffness, and temperature resistance, in addition to isotropy, smooth finish, and ability to print fine features.
