Problem
Manufacturers using selective laser sintering (SLS) often face limited material options that either lack high performance—such as flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and low dielectric loss—or require high processing temperatures, restricting compatibility with existing equipment and increasing costs.
Solution
Fluxo supplies specialized polymer powders designed for SLS that address these gaps. Rytexint™ PPS offers a fully aromatic polyphenylene sulfide formulation with outstanding flame retardancy, heat and UV resistance, hydrolysis and chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and low dielectric loss. Plexint™ CPLA provides a carbon‑dioxide‑derived, crystallized polylactic acid powder that is eco‑friendly and engineered for high output, accuracy, and design freedom. Both materials can be processed at temperatures below 280 °C, making them compatible with most commercial SLS machines, and enable rapid, support‑free printing at speeds up to 20,000 mm/s, dramatically reducing build times.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers and service bureaus that operate SLS printers for aerospace, automotive, electronics, and consumer‑goods components, as well as developers seeking sustainable polymer powders for high‑performance additive manufacturing.
Features
- Rytexint™ PPS delivers UL94 V‑0 flame retardancy, heat/UV resistance, and chemical/hydrolysis resistance for demanding industrial parts
- Low dielectric loss of Rytexint™ PPS supports electronic and RF applications
- Plexint™ CPLA is produced from captured CO₂, offering a reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional PLA powders
- Both powders enable support‑free geometries, eliminating post‑processing and material waste
- High forming speed of up to 20,000 mm/s (≈100× faster than FDM) accelerates production cycles
- Processing temperature under 280 °C ensures compatibility with standard SLS equipment and lowers energy consumption
