Essentium Introduces High-Performance Essentium 9085 and Essentium PET-CF to Extend Open Additive Ecosystem

Essentium, Inc., today introduced Essentium TPU 58D-AS, an electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe and anti-static thermoplastic polyurethane filament that is available for the first time in color. Unlike other ESD-safe materials, which are only offered in black due to carbon additives, Essentium has developed an exclusive filament line in color. This new material is ideal for applications such as space vehicles and satellite manufacturing, where no-fly parts must be both ESD safe and red in color.

This innovation in material development results from a collaboration between Essentium and Croda to develop a unique anti-static filament line based on Croda Ionphase™ permanent anti-static additives. It has excellent impact strength, tear strength, and abrasion resistance and is safe for cleanroom and electronics manufacturing applications.
