Asahi Kasei offers XYRON™ -3D FILAMENT, made from XYRON™, a modified polyphenylene ether (PPE) resin product. 3D printer filament is a thread-like resin that is compatible with 3D printer methods called MEX, FDM, and FFF. XYRON™ is a general term for polymer alloys that are a mixture of PPE resin and other resins, and has excellent flame resistance, heat resistance, electrical properties (insulation), dimensional stability, etc.
XYRON™ -3D FILAMENT : Outstanding Properties and Product Lineup
We would like to introduce the excellent characteristics and product lineup of filament products made from Asahi Kasei 's modified PPE resin "XYRON™".
Key Features
3D printer filament made from the modified PPE resin XYRON™ has the following main features:
Low density
Excellent dimensional stability
Excellent electrical properties and insulation
Excellent heat resistance
Excellent impact resistance
Due to these features, it is expected to provide performance comparable to that of super engineering plastic filaments.
Furthermore, taking advantage of its excellent electrical properties, it is expected that applications unique to XYRON™ will be expanded to include junction boxes for solar cells and 3D printing of electrical/electronic components.

Introducing XYRON™ -3D FILAMENT Products
01
PPE/PS (non-reinforced) series
The PPE/PS (non-reinforced
) series offers low density, dimensional stability, insulation, heat resistance and impact resistance. There are 2 grades available
: XYRON™ -3D FILAMENT JX20H and JX50Z. JX20H: Prints at lower temperatures (nozzle, bed, chamber) and can be used in more printers. JX50Z: The base resin of the filament is made of a resin that has obtained the UL94 standard (V-0), flame retardance
standard. Compared to other flame retardant
filaments, it has a low density and offers an excellent balance of heat resistance and impact strength. Due to these features, it is expected to provide performance comparable to some
of super engineering plastics filaments.

02
PPE/PS (reinforced) series
The grade which called XYRON™ -3D FILAMENT JXG70 is PPE/PS (reinforced) grade.
It's formulated by PPE/PS (polystyrene)/GF reinforced resin and obtain the UL94 standard (V-1) for flame retardance as the base resin for the filament. By combining PPE/PS resin with GF (glass fiber), it is possible to achieve strength and modulus, and it has a lower density, higher strength and higher modulus than PEI/CF reinforced resin.

03
PA/PPE Series-JXAS1
Compared to PA6 (polyamide 6) resin filament, XYRON™ -3D FILAMENT JXAS1 has lower
warpage, good impact strength, good flexural strength, good heat resistance and heat resistance, and exhibits little dimensional change when absorbing water.

PA/PPE Series-JXAG5
XYRON™-3D FILAMENT JXAG5 is a grade that has low warpage and low density, and has excellent strength and heat resistance compared to PA12 (polyamide 12)/GF (glass-fiber) reinforced resin filaments.
