Kraiburg · Thermolast K TP5 VCZ_B100
The standard grade of our two Shore 50 A elastomers: the same hardness as the flame-retardant TC5FTZ, but without the flame-retardant package and therefore without a UL 94 V-0 rating. In return, TP5 VCZ can be insert-moulded and bonds to a wider range of rigid components.
Rated 1 to 5 relative to the other materials in our range. This is an experience-based orientation aid, not a measured value – the hard numbers are in the table below.
| Property | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Material class | Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) | grade designation |
| Hardness (ISO 7619) | 50 Shore A | Kraiburg TDS |
| Density (ISO 1183) | 1.10 g/cm³ | Kraiburg TDS |
| Tensile stress at yield (ISO 37) | 3.50 MPa | Kraiburg TDS |
| Elongation at break (ISO 37) | 500 % | Kraiburg TDS |
| Fire behaviour (UL 94) | HB | Kraiburg TDS |
| Recommended residual moisture | max. 0.020 % | Kraiburg TDS |
| Adhesion in overmoulding (Renault D41 1916) | PC 5.5 kN/m · ABS 4.0 kN/m · PC/ABS 6.0 kN/m | Kraiburg TDS |
These values are taken from the manufacturer datasheet and apply to the material, not to the printed part. In 3D printing the achievable properties depend on part orientation, layer height and process parameters – in the Z direction in particular they are lower. Please talk to us before relying on them for design.
“Qualified for functional parts” is a general classification. A functional part can be a simple clip or a main load-bearing member – the forces and load cases differ fundamentally. We therefore always assess in each individual case whether a material is suitable for your part.
