Ultrafuse BVOH
Date / Revised: 11.11.2019

Version No.: 1.3

General information
Components
Butenediol vinyl alcohol copolymer based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
Printing complex designs may only be possible with temporary support structures. Ultrafuse BVOH water-soluble
support filament has been designed to easily dissolve in water. The solubility is increasing with higher watertemperature. It offers great compatibility to a variety of materials: PLA, PRO1, ABS, ABS Fusion+, PA and PAHT
CF15. Store this monofilament in a sealed bag or container to prevent moisture uptake.

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

Product safety
Recommended: Process materials in a well ventilated room, or use professional extraction systems. For furtherand more detailed information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.
