Vinyl 303 is a high-tech filament made of polyvinyl chloride PVC, widely used commodity plastic.
Thanks to its great properties, this is a perfect choice for functional prototyping, spare parts, or printing of objects for everyday use.
Features:
- Flame retardancy given by its chemical structure (naturally without additives)
- Excellent chemical resistance to oils, salts, solutions, and water
- Functionality, toughness, rigidity
- Great hardness and mechanical properties
- High impact resistance
- Low warping
- Low moisture absorption
- High density
- Safe for use in electrical and electronic equipment
- Recyclable
