Spectrum S-Flex 85A™ is a thermoplastic polyurethane filament. In the area of additive manufacturing, S-Flex 85A™ is a material that is characterized by a relatively simple and problem-free 3D printing process. An additional advantage is the excellent adhesion of the first layer of the manufactured part to the printing bed, whether it is made of glass, steel, plastic or any other material.
Low processing shrinkage and very high flexibility reduce the risk of edges becoming bulging in finished parts. The filament name – 85A – refers to the hardness of the material on the shore scale. The risk of the filament distortion in the area of the filament feed to the print heads has been reduced. This allows a slightly faster pressure compared to other, more susceptible elastomers.
The additive parts made of S-Flex 85A™ are characterized by a very high resistance to hydrolysis (a kind of degradation caused by the presence of water), good recyclability and excellent resistance to dynamic forces. These properties make it possible to print 3D printing parts for the protection of high-impact surfaces (bumpers, edge protection), sealing and protective elements with high chemical resistance and thermal isolators.
