Ultrafuse PP
Date / Revised: 14.11.2019

Version No.: 3.2

General information
Components
Polypropylene based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
Ultrafuse PP is high-performance thermoplastic with low density, high elasticity and high resistance to fatigue.
The mechanical properties make it an ideal material for 3D-printing applications which have to endure high stressor strain. The filament has high chemical resistance and a high isolation value. PP is one of the most usedmaterials in the world, due to its versatility and ability to engineer lightweight tough parts.

Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse PP 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.
