Filament PM printing string filament 175 TPU96 Natur 05 kg

Filament PM printing filament filament 175 TPU96 Natur 05 kg — flexible and durable material

For users looking for a combination of flexibility and durability, TPU96 from Filament PM is the ideal choice. This thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is great for a wide range of applications, from protective covers and RC models to seals and flexible joints. With the ability to extend its original length more than five times before breaking, it handles high demands on elasticity. TPU96 also excels in vibration and shock resistance, making it ideal for industrial and hobby use.

Reliability and print quality

Thanks to excellent adhesion to commonly used printing substrates, TPU96 provides stable and reliable printing. Recommended printing parameters include a nozzle temperature of 245°C, a substrate temperature of 50°C and a maximum print speed of 35 mm/s, which allows for precise processing and minimizes printing errors. The surface of the prints is also smooth and shiny, which is appreciated in applications where aesthetics are important.

Mechanical and thermal properties

TPU96 boasts a softening point of 128°C, which is significantly higher than that of conventional TPE (110°C). This higher heat resistance extends its use in more demanding conditions where higher thermal stability is required. Thanks to the ability to adjust the infill level, the hardness and flexibility of the prints can be easily changed, which provides greater variability in part design.

Chemical and environmental resistance

TPU96 material exhibits excellent resistance to hydrolysis and microorganisms, ensuring a long life even when exposed to a humid environment. On the other hand, it is less resistant to strong acids and solvents such as acetone or toluene. This property is crucial for users who work in chemically demanding conditions.

Technical data

• Recommended nozzle temperature: 245°C
• Recommended bed temperature: 50°C
• Maximum print speed: 35 mm/s
• Softening temperature: 128°C
• Chemical resistance: against hydrolysis and microorganisms, lower resistance to strong acids and solvents (e.g. acetone, toluene)

TPU96 is an exceptional material for the rapid production of industrial rubber parts in small volumes, making it an ideal solution for custom manufacturing and prototyping.
