Ultrafuse TPUs have been specially developed to enable quick and easy printing with a flexible filament for fused filament manufacturing. With its exceptional abrasion resistance, Ultrafuse TPU 95A is an excellent choice for applications subject to wear. Parts printed with this material are characterized by high elongation at break, excellent layer adhesion and good resistance to oils and industrial chemicals.

Characteristics :

• High resistance to wear and abrasion
• Easy to manage
• Good resistance to oils and commonly used industrial chemicals
• Printable on direct drive and some Bowden style printers
• Compatible with Ultrafuse BVOH water-soluble carrier material

Ultrafuse Flexible

Building on BASF’s decades of experience in flexible materials, this material is based on the proven Elastollan thermoplastic polyurethane, which stands for maximum reliability, consistent product quality and cost efficiency.
