Ultrafuse HiPS
Date / Revised: 13.11.2019

Version No.: 2.2

General information
Components
High impact Polystyrene based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
Ultrafuse HiPS is a high-quality engineering thermoplastic, which is well known in the 3D-printing industry as asupport material for ABS. But this material has additional properties to offer like good impact resistance, good
dimensional stability, and easy post-processing. HiPS is a great material to use as a support for ABS because
there is a good compatibility between the two materials, and HiPS is an easy breakaway support. Now you havethe opportunity to create ABS models with complex geometry. Our HiPS is easy to post process with glue or withsanding paper.

Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse HiPS 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.
