Подробно Product descriptions

TPC 45D is a flexible, rubber-like thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TPE-C) with a hardness of 45D that is derived from rapeseed oil and combines the best properties of elastomers (rubbers) and polyesters. The material provides excellent adhesion in the Z direction, which means that the printed layers do not separate - even under severe deformation.

Ultrafuse TPC 45D filament should be stored at 15 - 25°C in its original sealed packaging in a clean and dry environment. If the recommended storage conditions are observed, the products will have a minimum shelf life of 12 months.
Product safety
Recommended: Handle materials in a well-ventilated area or use professional extraction systems.

Especially suitable for printing flexible parts such as miniature tires, drive belts, bracelets and parts that must be extremely flexible and must be bent frequently.

This material has been proven to have up to 40% lower carbon footprint compared to similar copolyesters.
