Soft, Durable, Energy-Damping Elastomer EPU 43 brings to Carbon’s industry-leading elastomer portfolio a soft, energy-damping elastomer that offers excellent durability under high-cycle flexing. It can be used in applications where foam is traditionally used, but with lower density, increased airflow, and much higher durability, making it ideal for applications like comfort liners inside helmets and...
Temperature: 65ºC / 149ºF
Energy-Damping, Strain-Rate-Sensitive Elastomer EPU 45 is a strain-rate-sensitive material that stiffens to absorb energy at high impact rates. This enables the design of highly breathable lattice geometries tuned for comfort at low-impact speeds and energy absorption at high-impact speeds. EPU 45 has the highest green strength of Carbon’s elastomers, allowing the widest range of part...
Highly elastic, tear resistant, and energy returning EPU 41 is a production-scale elastomeric material that is especially well-suited for elastomeric lattices where high resiliency is needed. EPU 41 has higher resilience (energy return) and better retention of elastomeric properties than EPU 40 at temperatures > -10°C. As a production scale offering, EPU 41 is only...
Highly elastic, tear resistant, and resilient EPU 40 offers a combination of tear strength, energy return, and elongation making it perfect for impact absorption, vibration isolation, gaskets, and seals. It is a good choice for applications where high elasticity and tear resistance are needed. It is comparable to commercial TPUs with a Shore A hardness...
Flame Retardance, Functional Toughness, and Long-term Stability EPX 86FR is a flame-retardant resin with an unmatched combination of functional toughness, high strength, and long-term stability. It works well in a variety of applications for consumer, automotive and industrial markets that require UL 94 V-0 or FAR 25.853(a) ratings. EPX 86FR is BlueCard certified. When baked...
Soft touch, biocompatible, and tear resistant SIL 30 is a silicone urethane. It is the first additive material to offer a unique combination of biocompatibility, low durometer, and tear-resistance. This material opens up the ability to print customized applications for comfortable skin contact products such as headphones, wristbands, and various attachments for wearables. SIL is...
High-Strength, Long-Term Durability, and Functional Toughness EPX 82 is a high-strength epoxy-based engineering material with excellent long-term durability and mechanical properties comparable to lightly glass-filled thermoplastics (e.g. 20% GF-PBT, 15% GF-Nylon). EPX 82 has a heat deflection temperature ranging from 104°C to 130°C (depending on conditioning) and the functional toughness required for a variety of...
