Filament Spectrum S-Flex 98A 1.75mm POLAR WHITE 0.25kg

Product detailed description

Flexibility with very good impact strength and thermal insulation

Spectrum S-Flex 98A is a fibre based on thermoplastic polyether polyurethane. In additive manufacturing, S-Flex 98A is a material characterized by a relatively easy and trouble-free 3D printing process. Another advantage, which enables a perfect print, is the very good adhesion of the first layer of the printed part to the work area, regardless of whether it is made of glass, steel, plastic or other material.

The low processing shrinkage and high flexibility significantly reduce the risk of edge waviness in the manufactured parts. The distinguishing mark in the fibre name - 98A - is related to the material's hardness on the Shore scale and places Spectrum S-Flex 98A in the category of hard elastomers. This feature - from the perspective of the 3D printing process - reduces the risk of filament deformation in the insertion system leading the material to the print head. This allows slightly faster printing compared to other, more compliant elastomers.

Parts made from Spectrum S-Flex 98A are characterized by very high resistance to hydrolysis (a type of degradation caused by the presence of water), good recyclability and very good resistance to dynamic forces. Thanks to these properties, it is possible to 3D print parts that protect surfaces subject to impact (bumpers, sharp edge protectors), sealing and protective elements with high chemical resistance, as well as thermal insulators.
