PP

High impact and chemical resistance

Filament Spectrum PP is made with LUVOCOM 3F® 3F PP 9929 NT. The quality of the filament was entirely checked and is certified by Lehmann&Voss&Co KG.

Spectrum PP (made with LUVOCOM 3F® 3F PP 9929 NT) is a new material based on a random unfilled copolymer polypropylene material. It has good mechanical properties combined with outstanding chemical resistance and low density. Our material does not require a heated building chamber to be printed and it exhibits enhanced layer bonding, thus reducing the anisotropy of the final part. A PP build plate is recommended for the neat material. Its specific quality is a low absorption of moisture, up to 0.3%. In addition, PP features high flexibility (ultimate elongation – 500%) and high impact resistance plus reduced moment of inertia as compared to metal parts. PP has also a good chemical, temperature and electrical resistance. PP enables to obtain a relatively high resistance to thermal ageing, good tribological properties, including dry friction conditions such as in slide bearings. Very good mechanical properties of PP provide for a wide range of diverse applications.

To attain the very attractive properties of Spectrum PP (made with LUVOCOM 3F® 3F PP 9929 NT), as regards the technical aspects, you need to follow the basic storage rules for such materials (in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%). To obtain the best parameters of the printed object possible, it is recommended to dry the material prior to work.
