Ultrafuse® PA is the translation of BASF´s Ultramid® to the 3D printing space. It is based on a co-polyamide 6/66 grade of intermediate viscosity. With Ultrafuse® PA, it is possible to print semi-flexible thin parts; however, it is very rigid at higher thicknesses. It has a lower melting temperature than PA6 and PA66, meaning it can be printed at a lower temperature and also has better impact resistance versus PA6 and PA66, opening up a whole new application field for end-users.
Product safety
Recommended: Process materials in a well ventilated room, or use professional extraction systems. For further and more detailed information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.
