PP Isplen pellets

The Isplen 720 FV and Isplen 820 FM pellets are advanced materials especially designed for the FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) and FGF (Fused Granulate Fabrication) 3D printing technologies. They are both made out of polypropylene reinforced with fibers or minerals, and recyclable.

The 720 FV pellets are made of a high fluidity polypropylene reinforced with 30 % of fiberglass. This gives the pellets stiffness and impact strength at all temperature ranges, with low warping and shrinking. What’s more the Isplen 720 FV pellets are UV stabilized, which means that they are adequate for outdoor applications. The recommended processing temperature range for these pellets is 190-250 ºC but the processing conditions should be adjusted to each production line.

The 820 FM pellets are composed of a highly processable and medium flow polypropylene reinforced with 20 % of mineral charge. These pellets are also UV stabilized and have excellent scratch resistance. Similarly to the 720 FV pellets, it is recommended to process the 820 FM pellets at temperatures ranging from 190-250 ºC, keeping in mind that the processing conditions must be optimized for each production line.

Both the 720 FV and 820 FM pellets are perfect for applications where the required properties are high mechanical strength, great processability and stability of the 3D printed part. Some example applications are:

• Prototypes, jigs and fixtures, aesthetic parts in the automotive industry.
• Prototypes in the aerospace industry.
• Technical components in the textile, toy, footwear, jewelry and leisure industries.

Both these materials can be used directly as pellets, for example with the AM Flexbot System by CEAD, or processed into filament with the help of equipment such as the Filastruder Kit.

The Isplen 720 FV and 820 FM pellets are perfect 3D printing materials for demanding mechanical applications, including outdoor uses. Their recyclability constitutes an additional advantage, as it makes it an eco-friendly 3D printing material.
