CMT Materials HYTAC® XTL Tough Thermoplastic Syntactic Foam

HYTAC®-XTL was developed to offer an improved surface quality after machining when compared to our popular HYTAC-B1X. This is particularly important when working with sticky or transparent plastics due to the challenge of polishing any thermoplastic syntactic material. Thermoplastic syntactic foams from CMT have become a good choice for plug assist due to their low thermal conductivity and ability to withstand chips and dings associated with any typical thermoforming process.In addition to enhanced surface quality, HYTAC-XTL has these outstanding attributes: The highest toughness ratings for any syntactic foamGood machinability with no dustExcellent where edge definition and detail are required Low thermal conductivityLow coefficient of thermal expansionExcellent material distribution Variety of Shapes and Sizes: The material is provided in standard sized rods or sheets, but may be custom molded to meet specific needs. Applications: HYTAC-XTL is the first material to combine the machined surface quality of an epoxy syntactic with the durability and dust free machining of a thermoplastic syntactic foam. Excellent surface characteristics optimize material distribution with most plastics. Recommended for use with PP, PET, PE, APET, CPET, HIPS, OPS, PETG, PLA, PS, PVC and RPET Information Provided by CMT Materials, Inc.
