BASF Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR : 3D Printing Filament : 2.85 mm (0.75Kg) : black

Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR

Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR is a V-0 flame retardant blend of polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, two of the most widely used thermoplastics for electrical and engineering applications. The combination of these two materials results in a premium material with a blend of the excellent mechanical properties of PC and the comparatively low printing temperature of ABS. Combined with a halogen-free flame retardant, Ultrafuse PC/ABS FR printed parts exhibit high tensile and impact strength, higher thermal resistance than ABS and can meet the requirements of UL94 V-0.
