The heat destroys many pigments used in engineering thermoplastics. It typically works best with a nozzle temperature between 360–400°C and a heated bed of 120°C.

Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants are formulated to offer ultra-high heat resistance and performance specifically for medical applications, and are available in a range of vivid colors. Transcend Premier Healthcare Colorants are being launched in polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resin, which can withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high heat sterilization to 150°C.

This material solution offers exceptional thermoformed detail, improved material distribution, short heating and cooling cycles, and no pre-drying under normal conditions, enabling sign manufacturers to save on energy, labor and production costs.”  UltraTuf SG sheet also provides superior heat resistance and ease of fabrication for enhanced design flexibility.

Heat Sink for Rear and Fog Lights Supplier HellermannTyton switched to heat-stabilized Bergamid™ B70 G30H Black TM-X polyamide to produce a seat fastener at lower cost, lower weight and with greater design flexibility

This technology consists of a cross-linked, olefinic-based elastomer with lighter weight, improved heat resistance, and easier processing versus that of certain conventional TPVs, silicones, and thermoset rubbers. Products typically made from high-performance materials such as silicone or other thermosets can now reap the benefits of heat and chemical resistance with ambient temperature curing.

No matter how many times you expose TPEs to sufficient heat they will become soft and re-harden when cool. is a silicone based product that is supplied as a liquid that is cured with heat to form a permanent shape. Heat Resistance

In all cases, polymer composites enhance performance thanks to their resistance to corrosion, heat, weather, and flame.   It is a continuous molding process where fibers are saturated with a liquid polymer, then carefully pulled through a heated die to form the parts. To start, it’s best to know the kind of environment in which your product will be and what kind of properties you need (e.g., heat or water resistant, hard or soft, color).

Advanced PC, PPS and LCP formulations to help customers to build 3D circuits on molded part surfaces; supporting high design flexibilty, multi-function integration, size miniaturization and weight reduction, even in high heat processes such as SMT Heat stabilized, impact modified polyphthalamide (PPA) formulations with mechanical integrity, high-temperature performance, and low moisture absorption Learn about the high-heat and low moisture absorption performance of polyphthalamide (PPA) formulations

These new orange colorants, developed as part of Avient’s OnColor portfolio, can help improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary, orange-colored polymers in both engineering and general-purpose plastics with no or limited adverse effects on mechanical properties or flame retardancy and can also be customized for laser marking (link to full press release here).   Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations: a range of silane-grafted, moisture cross-linkable polyethylene (XLPE) systems for wire insulation and cable jacketing, delivering high resistance to heat, oil, creep, and abrasion with good low-temperature performance and outstanding flame retardancy according to UL 44, UL 4703 and CSA 22.2 requirements Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: high-temperature solutions offered in pre-colored or concentrate form in a range of vivid opaque and transparent colors that are fully bio-compatible per ISO 10993 standards to provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance without compromising safety
