Lubrizol for FFF 3D printing

The 3D Printing Materials and Solutions division of Lubrizol takes the company’s almost century long expertise in materials and applies it to the game changing and promising field of Additive Manufacturing to create cutting edge engineered polymers for SLS and FFF 3D printing. The TPU pellets from the Estane line for FFF 3D printing come in three Shore hardness options - 70D, 95A and 98A. All those materials have excellent mechanical properties and very attractive additional features such as low warpage, sustainability and bio-based content, or UV stability. These materials can be used as pellets or for filament production in a broad range of industries.
