Ultimaker PP
Ultimaker PP
Ultimaker PP (polypropylene) is durable. Ultimaker PP has high toughness, exceptional fatigue resistance and low friction. It also has good chemical, temperature, and electrical resistance.
Ultimaker PP's Key features
Durable with high toughness and fatigue resistance (PP retains it’s
shape after torsion, bending, and/or flexing); low friction and smooth surfaces; semi-flexible; chemical-resistant to a wide range of bases and acids, including industrial cleaning agents; high electrical resistance; translucent; low density resulting in lightweight parts (high strength-to weight ratio); excellent layer bonding; adequate bed adhesion and low warping when using adhesion sheets.
Food contact applications and in vivo applications. Long term UV and/ or moisture immersion, and applications where the printed part is exposed to temperatures higher than 99 °C
