TPU 98A Plastic KLEMA 1 kg 1.75 mm Black
TPU 98A is a high-quality thermoplastic elastomer based on polyurethane, which is a popular choice for 3D printing flexible products. Compared to regular TPE, this material is stiffer, which significantly eases the printing process and ensures stable filament feeding. TPU from KLEMA is characterized by high strength and the ability to maintain elasticity even at low temperatures. The material hardly delaminates, has excellent interlayer adhesion, and minimal shrinkage, making it ideal for creating objects that are subject to intensive mechanical wear.
Material Advantages
- High wear resistance. The material is resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage, extending the lifespan of finished products.
- Excellent adhesion. Layers are reliably welded together, creating a monolithic and strong structure.
- Minimal shrinkage. Allows printing parts with precise geometry without significant deformations.
- Frost resistance. Products do not become brittle and retain their flexible properties at low temperatures.
Application Options
Thanks to the balance of stiffness and flexibility, TPU 98A is best suited for the following products:
- Technical elements: seals, flexible membranes, and plumbing gaskets.
- Protective accessories: impact-resistant cases for gadgets and protective caps.
- Industrial parts: elements that require cushioning and operate under friction conditions.
Technical Specifications
For the best results, we recommend using Direct Drive type extruders. When working with Bowden systems, carefully adjust the feed rate to avoid filament crumpling.

Expert Tips from 3DDevice
- Retraction settings. For flexible plastics, it is recommended to minimize or completely disable retraction to prevent filament tangling in the extruder.
- Surface preparation. Although TPU has good adhesion, for large models, we recommend using special glue or lacquer for 3D printing to ensure the stability of the first layer.
