HIPS Extrafill is a multifunctional material. Thanks to its structure it’s widely used for printing of support parts, dissolvable in Lemonesol. Ideal for quick printing of complex objects with overhangs using dual extrusion 3D printers.
Besides that, the high impact polystyrene (HIPS) filament is great for printing functional components. It is characterized by good thermal resistance, low water and moisture absorption, electrical insulation, and impact strength.
Features:
- Good water resistance even at higher temperatures
- High impact resistance
- Exceptional dielectric strength (it can withstand electrical breakdown)
- Temperature resistance up to 95 °C
- High interlayer adhesion
- Matte surface finish
- Chemical resistance against water, acids, alkalis, ozone, alcohols, oils and greases
- Post-processing by painting & sanding
- Smoothing by Lemonesol vopours
- Lower odor than ABS and ASA
- Recyclable
- Low density
- BPA-free
- Safe to use in electrical and electronic equipment
- Safe for food contact applications
When used for printing of support parts:
- ideal adhesion to other materials
- smooth interface
- fast removal
- widely used for supporting ABS and ASA filaments
- dissolvable in Lemonesol without influence on the printed object

Case study
A calibration tray printed in HIPS was implemented in the production process of our filaments. “Production of filaments needs a fine adjustment of the water flow being on the same level in all axes,” explains Jan Daněk, a production technologist in Fillamentum
