How much heat can Alumilite resins take before deforming or melting?Updated 23 days ago

To find the exact Heat Deflection Temperature or Heat Resistance of an Alumilite product, please see the individual product's technical data sheet (TDS). Alumilite resins will typically not melt but will eventually burn when exposed to extremely high heat. But most will start to soften as temperature increase. Additionally, the shape and design have a lot to do with the physical resistance to heat. If there is no load on the part itself, it may soften at elevated temperatures but may not deform. However if excessive pressure or a load is applied, the resin may start to deform at lower temperatures. Thicker castings will typically hold their shape much longer than thinner/unsupported walls or features of a part's design.
