Filament PM printing string filament 175 TPU96 White 05kg

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

For applications requiring a combination of flexibility, durability and precision, TPU96 from Filament PM is the ideal choice. This thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) offers exceptional vibration damping and shock absorption, making it a great material for protective covers, RC models, flexible joints or seals. With the ability to extend its original length more than five times before breaking and temperature resistance with a softening point of 128°C, it handles demanding industrial and hobby applications. In addition, TPU96 boasts chemical resistance and a smooth, glossy surface, which is key for aesthetic and functional prints.

Adhesion and printing properties

TPU96 is designed for stable and reliable printing thanks to its excellent adhesion to commonly used printing substrates. Recommended settings include a nozzle temperature of 245°C, a bed temperature of 50°C, and a print speed of up to 35 mm/s. These values ​​ensure consistent results while maintaining detail and print accuracy. However, to keep the material in optimal condition, it is important to protect it from moisture and dry it when necessary.

Flexibility and Adaptability

Various infill levels allow you to easily adjust the hardness and flexibility of your print. Lower infill density creates more flexible parts, while higher infill provides stiffer prints. This variability makes TPU96 ideal for applications where high elasticity is required, such as industrial rubber parts or custom disposable products.

Chemical and Temperature Resistance

TPU96 is resistant to hydrolysis and microorganisms, which increases its durability even in harsh conditions. However, the material has lower resistance to strong acids and solvents such as acetone and toluene. Temperature resistance with softening at 128°C allows use in higher temperature environments, which significantly expands its capabilities compared to TPE, which softens at 110°C.

Technical data

• Printing temperature: 245°C
• Bed temperature: 50°C
• Printing speed: max. 35 mm/s
• Softening temperature: 128°C
