Filament Spectrum S-Flex 85A 1.75mm LION ORANGE 0.5kg

Product detailed description

Spectrum S-Flex 85A is a filament based on thermoplastic polyether polyurethane. In the field of additive manufacturing, S-Flex 85A is a material characterised by a relatively easy and trouble-free 3D printing process. Another advantage, which enables a perfect print, is the very good adhesion of the first layer of the printed part to the work area, regardless of whether it is made of glass, steel, plastic or other material.

The low processing shrinkage and high flexibility significantly reduce the risk of edge waviness in the manufactured parts. The distinguishing mark in the filament name, 85A, relates to the material hardness on the Shore scale and places Spectrum S-Flex 85A in the category of hard elastomers. From a 3D printing process perspective, this property reduces the risk of filament deformation in the feeding system that guides the material to the print head. This allows slightly faster printing compared to other, more compliant elastomers.

Parts made from Spectrum S-Flex 85A are characterised by very high resistance to hydrolysis (a type of degradation caused by the presence of water), good recyclability, and very good resistance to dynamic forces. Thanks to these properties, it is possible to 3D print parts that protect surfaces subject to impact (bumpers, sharp edge protectors), sealing and protective elements with high chemical resistance, as well as thermal insulators.
