Best results may be expected from elevated build-space temperatures and
are machine specific. Results vary widely from machine to machine.
Important notes:
i. Example values only, not
product specification.
ii. Limited data of material properties via
filament extrusion, values sourced in dedicated technical literature
iii.
Data are generated in accordance with prevailing national, international and internal standards,
and should be used for material comparison. Actual property values are highly dependent on part
geometry, equipment configuration, extrusion deposition strategy and processing conditions.
Properties may also differ for along flow and across flow directions and from different printers
technologies and manufacturers. |

Resin Trade Names
Manufacturer Trade Names
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
