The Lyten 3D Graphene-powered products include PA1205 3D printing filament and 6120HT adhesive
Lyten, a supermaterial applications company, has launched two high-performance products. The Lyten 3D Graphene-powered products include PA1205 3D printing filament and 6120HT, a structural epoxy adhesive built for high-temperature applications in motorsports, defense, and aerospace.
Lyten 3D Graphene is a supermaterial engineered to dramatically strengthen polymers, adhesives, and composite structures while reducing weight and increasing thermal and mechanical performance.
PA1205 filament
Designed for industrial high-performance applications that previously required machined composites or metal parts, Lyten’s PA1205 filament enables motorsports teams, aerospace engineers, defense contractors, and manufacturers to print parts that are faster to produce, lighter, and significantly more resilient under extreme operating conditions.
The material delivers 100% greater X-axis and Y-axis strength, a market-leading 43% higher Z-axis strength, and a 500% greater impact strength advantage compared to PA12-CF.
“We set out to unlock Z-axis strength, which has been holding back additive manufacturing from the high-strength market,” said Dan Cook, CEO of Lyten. “By utilizing our 3D Graphene supermaterials, our PA1205 actually improves every metric of strength without compromising on manufacturability. The filament is plug-and-play on any printer and actually improves print speed and quality. This is the power of new materials.”
6120HT adhesive
Lyten also debuted a supermaterial-enhanced structural adhesive that delivers: up to 6,000 psi bonding strength; exceptional high-temperature reliability up to 120 °C Tg; superior strength retention up to 100 °C; up to 90% lighter assemblies than metal fasteners; and outstanding chemical and durability performance.
6120HT improves load distribution, allows thinner and lighter structural designs, and replaces heavy mechanical fasteners in motorsports, defense systems, aerospace components, and high-performance industrial applications.
“6120HT is engineered for the places where heat, stress, and safety margins converge,” said Keith Norman, Chief Marketing Officer at Lyten. “Our motorsports customers are already telling us this adhesive gives them design freedom they simply didn’t have before. We believe this product is a big step in the replacement of metal parts with lighter-weight composites.”
At this year’s Indianapolis 500, Lyten launched Lyten Motorsports, its subsidiary located in Indianapolis, Indiana, focused on delivering high-performance 3D print and autoclave parts to racing series utilizing 3D graphene supermaterials. 3D Filament PA1205 and Structural Adhesive 6120HT are now fully integrated into Lyten Motorsports’ lineup of 3D printed parts. Lyten Motorsports is currently delivering parts for INDYCAR Experience, INDY Autonomous Challenge, and multiple racing series.
