Polypropylene
Excellent chemical resistance meets translucency and plasticity
3D-printed Polypropylene (PP) offers a unique combination of chemical resistance, flexibility, and low density, making it ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts.
Its semi-crystalline structure provides excellent fatigue and impact resistance, while maintaining dimensional stability over repeated use.
PP is resistant to many acids, bases, and solvents, and can withstand moderate temperatures, making it suitable for automotive, medical, and consumer applications.
Its lightweight and durable properties enable the production of versatile, high-performance components.
The white variant also features translucency, making it suitable for producing containers for chemically aggressive liquids that require visual level inspection.
