Flexfill TPE 90A

Flexible filament based on polyolefinic thermoplastic elastomer. Certified for food contact and skin contact applications.

Working temperature: 224–245 °C
Heated bed: 50–60 °C
Available diameters: 1.75 mm
Diameter tolerance: +/- 0.10 mm
Weight: 500 g of filament (+ 230 g spool)
The length of the filament: 170 m (1.75 mm, 500 g)
Flexible material based on polyolefinic thermoplastic elastomer with hardness 90 Shore A. This filament is safe for food-contact applications and for applications in contact with skin.
 

Wear resistance guarantees the durability of 3D printed products. Great for sealings especially in the presence of certain substances, the ability to seal is preserved also at higher temperatures. This material has very low gas permeability.

Features
