BASF Ultrafuse PP GF30
Ultrafuse® PP GF30 contains 30% of special glass fibers that are designed for filament making and 3D printing so Ultrafuse® PP GF30 is compatible with any standard FFF printer. PP has a lower moisture uptake than PA. In combination with its high level of glass fiber reinforcement and its excellent chemical resistance, Ultrafuse® PP GF30 is a preferred filament for exceptional working environments. Thanks to its UV resistance it is more suitable than any other PP-based filament for applications directly exposed to sunlight.
Benefits at a glance
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Low density
- Low moisture uptake
- High heat resistance
- Improved UV resistance
PP GF30 is a functional 3D printing filament, that can be used in high-performance applications. The excellent mechanical properties, high temperature- and chemical resistance make this filament highly suitable in an industrial environment.
*For adhesion to the bed we used strapping tape of the brand Scotch Extreme. This provided the best results
**Ultrafuse PPGF30 is an abrasive material, hardened nozzle (steel or ruby) is advised of ≥ 0.6 mm to prevent clogging of the nozzle.
Infill >80% will cause high warpage
