Experience our Agilus30 materials in PolyJet printing
From our range of materials for PolyJet printing, you may have been familiar with TangoBlackPlus and VeroWhitePlus for some time. Today we would therefore like to introduce you to Agilus30, the latest addition to our product portfolio in PolyJet printing.
In concrete terms, similar to the Tango materials, this is a whole product family that is constantly growing.
In general, it can be said for the materials of the Agilus30 and those of the Tango family that they simulate rubber-like, elastic materials such as NBR or EPDM and convey the look and feel of silicone, latex or rubber.
A small digression on NBR and EPDM
NBR stands for Nitrile Butadiene Rubber and is also abbreviated in German under the name Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber nitrile rubber common. This copolymer, developed by IG Farben in 1930, impresses above all with its favorable aging behavior, its high resistance to oils, fats and hydrocarbons, as well as its low abrasion.
EPDM is the abbreviation for ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, which refers to a certain group of terpolymers (the so-called M group, according to DIN), which in turn belongs to the group of synthetic rubbers with a saturated main chain. It is precisely this saturated framework structure that gives the EPDM very interesting properties, such as its high thermal resistance, in conjunction with good weather and ozone resistance, as well as high elasticity and good chemical resistance.
The materials of the Agilus30 family
In principle, it can be said that the materials in the Agilus30 family are a further development of the Tango materials. In comparison to the Tango family, the Agilus30 in the translucent (FLX935) and black (FLX985) variants offers 2.5 times the tensile strength, 2 times the tear strength and 220-270% greater elongation at break, with a Shore hardness of 30A each.
The Agilus30 materials can be processed on all Connex1/2/3 systems, as well as on Stratasys J750 systems with the SUP706 upgrade.
