Buy TPU Plastic 40D MonoFilament in Ukraine
TPU Plastic 40D MonoFilament is a flexible thermoplastic elastomer with a Shore hardness of 45D and an elongation at break of up to 400%.
This material is valued for its characteristics such as high impact resistance at low temperatures. Additionally, it is resistant to abrasion and UV radiation and has chemical resistance, including to oils and lubricants.
Due to the high flexibility of this plastic, it is commonly used in products that are frequently bent, various connecting and cushioning elements, rubber parts of machines, gaskets, bushings, flexible parts of gadgets (such as bracelets and cases), tires, belts, hinges, and more.
Advantages of TPU Plastic 40D from MonoFilament
- high flexibility;
- abrasion resistance;
- high impact strength;
- excellent resistance to oils, fats, and many solvents;
- operating temperature range: -40 + 140 °C.
TPU 40D Plastic Printing
For successful 3D printing with TPU filament, it is necessary to consider the features of TPU materials and the properties of the specific TPU filament. To achieve the best result, follow these recommendations:
- spools with plastic should be stored in vacuum packaging to avoid moisture absorption from the air;
- to reduce warping of the printed model, it is better to use a 3D printer with a closed build chamber. This promotes slow cooling of the model and reduces deformation during cooling.
