Filament Roffelsen3D ABS Black

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic polymer offering high impact resistance and is relatively rigid and lightweight. Due to its excellent surface appearance and decorative qualities. It has excellent mechanical properties and can be used for objects that require toughness and durability. With a thermal resistance of up to 85 °C, ABS can be used in warm environments. ABS is widely used in applications such as domestic appliances, telephony, IT equipment and toys.

Polymer features:

• Impact resistance
• Higher heat resistance than PLA (around 85°C)
• Not sensitive to moisture
• ABS causes a smell during extrusion
• Limited UV stability, when no additional UV stabilizer additives are applied
• Mechanical properties can be increased by means of incorporating glass-, carbon or aramid fibers
• Fire retardant properties can be increased by adding additives
