Kimya TPC-ESD is a 3D printing filament made from thermoplastic copolyester (TPC), a type of elastomer. It combines rigid ester segments and flexible ether segments through copolymerization to deliver flexibility and strength. The “ESD” version adds protection against electrostatic discharge, making it especially useful in sensitive electronic applications. TPC-ESD offers chemical and impact resistance, with a Shore hardness of 91A, allowing for the printing of flexible, elastic parts. It’s commonly used in industry for components like connectors, sensors, and measuring devices. Kimya TPC-ESD provides a blend of durability, flexibility, and electrostatic safety for industrial uses.
• Flexibility & Elasticity.
• Great Electrostatic Discharge Protection.
