Ultrafuse® PP
Ultrafuse PP is high-performance thermoplastic with low density, high elasticity and high resistance to fatigue.
The mechanical properties make it an ideal material for 3D-printing applications which have to endure high stress or strain. The filament has high chemical resistance and a high isolation value. PP is one of the most used materials in the world, due to its versatility and ability to engineer lightweight tough parts.
