  • Good temperature resistance
  • Good mechanical strength and ductility
  • Resistant to aqueous acids, phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid

CONS

  • Only available in 'natural' colour to maintain certification
  • May turn yellow over time when exposed to UV and can be damaged

MAIN FEATURES

  • 3D printing process: FDM
  • Tolerance: 0,6mm<100mm; 0,75%>100mm
  • Max size: 300 x 300 x 400 mm; 11,8 x 11,8 x 15,8 in
  • Lead time: <3 days

COMMENT

ABS Food, in addition to presenting the required and important certifications for the industry, is an excellent choice for the manufacture of components of household appliances or utensils in contact with food, but which also require good mechanical properties.

This specific ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) has been made to be compatible for all uses in food contact contexts. Like other ABSs, it has a good mix of mechanical properties, including ductility and temperature resistance.
