15 m Sample | 1.75 mm | Flexfill TPE 96A
Semi-flexible material based on polyolefinic thermoplastic elastomer with hardness 96 Shore A. This filament is safe for food-contact applications and for applications in contact with skin.
Wear resistance guarantees the durability of 3D printed products. Great for sealings especially in the presence of certain substances, the ability to seal is preserved also at higher temperatures. This material has very low gas permeability.

- The use of a direct drive extruder is highly recommended
- For proper printing of flexible material with higher speed and quality, buy an appropriate printing device
- For a good adhesion use Magigoo PP
- Because of its chemical structure, this material is sensitive to stress whitening. It is usual, that the stress created by impact or tension causes the microcracks. It can be partially removed by the heat gun. If possible, limit the bending of the printed object. For dynamically stressed parts, it is better to use Flexfill TPU or Flexfill PEBA 90A. It does not affect the functionality of the filament
