EOS PA 2200 Top Quality 1.0

This whitish fine powder PA 2200 on the basis of polyamide 12 serves with its very well-balanced property profile a wide variety of applications. Laser-sintered parts made from PA 2200 possess excellent material properties:

• high strength and stiffness

• good chemical resistance

• excellent long-term constant behaviour

• high selectivity and detail resolution

• various finishing possibilities (e.g. metallisation, stove enamelling, vibratory grinding, tub colouring, bonding, powder coating, flocking)

• bio compatible according to EN ISO 10993-1 and USP/level VI/121 °C

• approved for food contact in compliance with the EU Plastics Directive 2002/72/EC (exception: high alcoholic foodstuff)

Typical applications of the material are fully functional plastic parts of highest quality. Due to the excellent mechanical properties the material is often used to substitute typical injection moulding plastics. The biocompatibility allows its use e.g. for prostheses, the high abrasion resistance allows e.g. the realisation of movable part connections.

60 µm layer thickness:
The parameter set TopQuality is used for very small to medium-sized parts with extremely fine, fragile geometries and geometric elements and the strictest requirements in surface quality are best served by this parameter set. It applies a layer thickness of 60 µm, which is approximately the thickness of a grain of the plastic powder normally used today. The typical stair-step effect on upward and downward-pointing geometry elements can practically no longer be seen on TopQuality parts. The mechanical attributes of TopQuality parts are satisfyingly close to the levels of Performance parts.
