Ultrafuse PP GF30
Date / Revised: 14.11.2019

Version No.: 2.3

General informationComponents
Polypropylene based filament filled with 30% glass fibers for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
Ultrafuse PP GF30 is polypropylene, reinforced with 30% glass fiber content. The fibers in this compound are
specially designed for 3D-printing filaments and are compatible with a wide range of standard FFF 3D-printers.
The extreme stiffness makes this material highly suitable for demanding applications. Other key properties of PP
GF30 are high heat resistance and improved UV-resistance. All these excellent properties make this filament
highly suitable in an industrial environment.

Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse PP GF30 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
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.
