For now, Teighax 309 represents the culmination of three years of R&D focused on recyclability without property loss . Early recycling tests show that reground Teighax 309 retains 88% of virgin tensile strength after one remelt—a major step forward for circular manufacturing. If your current project involves any combination of heat above 120°C, cyclic loading, and exposure to hydrocarbons or coolants , then yes—what’s new in Teighax 309 solves problems that previously required switching to expensive PEEK or PEKK.
However, if you are printing decorative parts or items that never exceed 60°C, stick with standard ASA or PETG. Teighax 309 is overkill and requires higher-end equipment. teighax 309 what is it new
