Material Info
ABS - Flame Retardant is a professional, halogen-free, self-extinguishing filament. It is designed to meet UL 94 V-0 flammability standards. This means that vertical burning of the filament or 3D printed object stops within ten seconds. The filament is made of ABS, halogen-free flame retardants and PolyCarbonate. The property profile of the material allows the production of stable parts with excellent interlayer adhesion and high dimensional stability. However, it should be noted that the material tends to be brittle with very filigree or thin structures.
Look and feel:
With the FDM process, the individual print layers (usually 0.1-0.3 mm), or process paths of the print nozzle, are clearly visible on the parts. In addition, support structures are often necessary for printing, which must be removed afterwards and can have an impact on the surface quality.

The FDM technology
The comparatively inexpensive but extremely flexible FDM process impresses with a huge selection of materials as well as large installation spaces ( with us, for example, up to 1,000 x 500 x 500 mm).
Further materials for the FDM process
ABS
ABS is the most widely used plastic in the world. It is characterized by a high level of heat resistance and very good post-processing options.
PLA
The PLA, made from renewable raw materials, is characterized by its high tensile strength. It is particularly suitable for prototypes and bulky parts.
PETG
This plastic combines the best properties of ABS and PLA. It is tougher than ABS, more heat resistant than PLA, UV stable and resistant to many chemicals.
ASA
ASA is the ABS for outdoors. The property profile is similar, but ASA has a higher heat resistance and is more resistant to UV radiation.
PC
Polycarbonate (PC) is an extremely tough material. It has high temperature resistance, making it ideal for technical enclosures, for example.
PA6 CF
The carbon fiber-reinforced PA6/66 is highly resistant to external influences and particularly good for robust parts that have to meet higher mechanical requirements.
TPU D58
With an elongation of up to 480%, high chemical resistance and heat resistance up to 140°C, the material is suitable for industrial applications.
ESD ABS
ESD ABS is ideal for critical applications that require a high level of protection against electrostatic discharges, such as electrical enclosures or packaging.
Green-TEC
This material is a real alternative to conventional materials used for technical applications and is both food safe and compostable.
