General information
Components
Recycled Polyethylene terephthalate based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
PET is mainly known by the well-known PET bottle material. This recycled has a natural transparent blueish look.
It has excellent 3D printing properties and good mechanical characteristics.

Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse rPET filament should be stored at 15 - 25°C in its originally sealed package in a clean and dry
environment. If the recommended storage conditions are observed the products will have a minimum shelf lifeof 12 months.

Product safety
