FLEX 45 is a very flexible rubber replacing filament for 3D printing. The combination of flexibility, mechanical strength, durability and good resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures makes it a unique filament. This BIO performance Thermoplastic Co-Polyester has a high carbon content of renewable materials resulting in a less environmental impact. Finally, FLEX 45 exhibits excellent UV resistance.
FLEX 45 features:
- Very flexible
- Strong
- Long term heat resistant
- Good chemical resistance
- UV resistant
